Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has claimed that 12 Russian generals have been killed since the invasion began in late February.
During its war in Ukraine, Russia's top military leadership has proven to be particularly vulnerable, experts say.
"Maybe you'd have to go back to World War II to have that sort of proportion of senior officers being killed on the front lines," Ganyard said. That demonstrates Russia's seriousness about its campaign but is also "an indication of how weak the Russian military has turned out to be in that they need that much senior leadership that far forward," Ganyard said.
"As soon as communication breaks down … the young folks in the Russian military don't know what to do and they know that they're just being told to do something, particularly when it's a fight where their heart isn't in it," he said. "That is an advantage that Ukraine has proven to be decisive on the battlefield thus far."Russian troops have also been shown to be vulnerable to electronic eavesdropping while on the ground in Ukraine, Ganyard said.
"So obviously, the Ukrainians can tap into their own phone lines if they can figure out who's doing it," he said. "The modern age has introduced lots of benefits, but in the case of the military, it actually becomes dangerous because most of the apps that people are running are not encrypted and they're passing real-time data of where people are," he said.
