This morning’s press says VDV Commander, General-Lieutenant Vladimir Shamanov had a complex but successful four-hour surgery yesterday to repair hip and elbow joints damaged in Saturday’s head-on collision near Tula. A spokesman for the Burdenko Main Military Clinical Hospital said Shamanov was feeling ‘normal’ after his operation.
Acting 106th Division Commander, Colonel Naumets’ condition remains serious and his surgery hasn’t been scheduled. Colonel Chernous has improved, and he’s been moved out of intensive care.
