It is more probable that those generals and senior officers were fragged by troops with no interest of being martyred for Mother Russia and those ruling rich oligarchs and their yachty friends . Makes more sense that the Russians CNC is being fragged by troops that are excluded from the spoils of the new Russian economy. While the super nouveau rich are heading for their bunkers in Sochi, these sad sacks are being fed to a meat grinder .
When you get to headquarter level, there are very few troops who would be at risk of going to the actual front.
These guys have been taken out by poor skills. Positioning of a HQ in an obvious location / tent village, very very poor comm sec, antenna location these are all telegraphing positions that Ukrainian operators are looking for, with assistance from third parties and probably civilian assets.
Losing Generals is bad for moral across the board and helps galvanise the Ukrainian war effort knowing that the job they are doing is of real benefit.
