According to Wiki (yes, I know) there's still over 1,000 Scorpions in service in Africa and South America. Iran has 20 (yep...won't get our hands on those), Nigeria has 150, Oman 120 and Thailand 100. The condition of all these vehicles is unknown and many may be unserviceable. I suspect any bound for Ukraine would require a complete rebuild...but that's just me.

Here is a clue. There is a company in the UK (possibly this one) that has supplied a good number of the APC version to Ukraine. This could be a follow up.

Russian spies more effective than army, say experts
Russia's intelligence services have had more success in Ukraine than its army, says a top think tank.www.bbc.com
Russia was very successful in fomenting crises in eastern Ukraine and Crimea to expand Russian influence and, in the latter case, enable a complete take-over. That same approach simply wasn't working in other parts of Ukraine, hence the need for the invasion. I find it interesting that the FSB asked for the invasion to be delayed but Putin pressed ahead anyway.
Russian spycraft going back to the Okhrana has been excellent for more than a century, if not longer? It's one of the few areas wherein they play the long game. Amongst other successes, they penetrated German leadership with the Rote Kapelle, as well as the Manhattan Project, higher levels of the British foreign service with Philby et al, and placed a mole in the CIA in the form of Aldrich Ames, the agency's chief of Soviet Counterintelligence, in the 80s.
