Commanding General of Russia's Southern Defence bitching about Gerasimov has resigned (or was removed).

Now Russians believe the MoD leaked his location to the Ukrainians to kill him because he was threatening Gerasimov.

He wasn't killed but his Deputy General was.

Now the Southern Military District has lost its top two Commanders and others in the 58th believe there's a conspiracy to kill their Commander who was trying to fix the situation.

Meanwhile Surovikin is still missing.

Does anyone have any idea about what kind of vehicles the plan is going to be manufacturing exactly? I know Rheinmetall from Leopard tanks, but do we have any actual knowledge yet? Anyway, great news (just like the situation with Sweden)!

Panther KF51 was the plan. Not sure if it's possible, though. 

Not sure Rheinmetall would be allowed to produce their newest vehicles (as in Panther KF51, GTK Boxer and Puma, though some Boxer variants may be possible) in Ukraine anytime soon.

However, a good contestant would be the TPz Fuchs or it's upgraded variant Fuchs 2 APC. Another option, though more unlikely, would be the Lynx KF41, a heavy IPC. However, since it doesn't look like it's getting picked up by the German Army and is loaded with much less sensitive technology than the Panther, it might be an option. The Wiesel 2 in it's light air defence variant could also be an option, though a bit unlikely as it's rockets are man-portable.

Finally, there are some military trucks and other logistics vehicles, which would be helpful to avoid the problems Russia had throughout their campaign.

According to The Washington Post, some Western officials privately express concern about how Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will react if Ukrainian forces ever enter Crimea.

"As soon as I have the means, I'll do something," said Zaluzhnyi.

"I don't give a damn — nobody will stop me."

The Commander-in-Chief is also prepared to strike into Russian territory using Ukrainian weapons, as the West keep insisting that military equipment it provides must not be used to attack Russia proper.

"This is our problem, and it is up to us to decide how to kill this enemy," he said.
