Major General Vladimir Popov, an old military acquaintance of Sviridov, confirmed that the 68-year-old Russian general passed away this month under mysterious and sudden circumstances.

“When I found out about his death, my heart was heavy,” Popov said. “It’s a shame that people of such a rank, who are worthy of attention and respect, go out in this way.”

Sviridov complained about the nation’s air force during a 2007 magazine interview.

“A pilot must have about 100 hours of flight time per year for full combat readiness. However, this is not yet the case,” he grumbled at the time. “The average flight time in the army is currently 25-30 hours.”

Telegram channel General SVR alleged that Putin died in late October after suffering a heart attack.

“We are forced to appoint not fully trained officers because there are no better ones,” Sviridov said during another interview. “For the same reason we are sending to military academies third-rate pilots. This did not happen in the past.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Sviridov’s death this month marked the latest of Putin’s allies to pass away under sudden and mysterious circumstances.

More than 40 Russian oligarchs, scientists, and generals have passed away mysteriously in the nearly 21 months since Putin first invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

Perhaps the most infamous of Putin’s allies to suddenly die under sudden circumstances was the late Wagner mercenary chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Prigozhin died in August after his private jet crashed in a field outside of Moscow while en route to St. Petersburg.
