Tjay Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Quote: Since his appointment in 2007, Mr. Serdyukov has alienated the uniformed military through changes that thinned the top-heavy officer ranks. It was a policy to alter the “egg-shaped” hierarchy of the Russian Army into a pyramid form.To do so, Mr. Serdyukov has fired or forced into early retirement 40,000 officers since 2008 and reduced the number of active-duty generals and admirals by almost by half, from 1,107 four years ago to 610 today. We need him in the UK. Yes, we already have a pyramid structure - but it's an INVERTED pyramid! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure his attempts to reform russian military were too radical and badly planned, but...In any case he pays a price for touching "sacred cow", e.g. procurement system, IMHO.EDIT: typos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
