July 12 (Reuters) - General Sergei Surovikin, a deputy commander of Russia's military operations in Ukraine who has not been seen in public since last month's armed mutiny by mercenary fighters, is "resting", a lawmaker from the ruling party said on Wednesday.

Andrei Kartapolov, head of the State Duma Defence Committee, is heard saying in a video posted on social media: "Surovikin is currently resting. (He is) not available for now."

Surovikin, dubbed "General Armageddon" by the Russian press for his aggressive tactics in the Syria conflict, was last seen publicly when he issued a video appeal urging a halt to the June 23-24 mutiny by fighters of Yevgeny Prigozhin's Wagner mercenary group while it was still underway.

[...]

A New York Times report based on a U.S. intelligence briefing said last month that Surovikin had advance knowledge of the mutiny and that Russian authorities were checking whether he was complicit.

Some Russian and international media reported last month that Surovikin had been arrested, but there has been no official confirmation of that, and the Kremlin has declined to answer questions about him.



Looks like he's taking the Big Sleep.
Maybe he is resting at the Lubianka Hilton.

Perhaps he is merely fagged and fashed after a prolonged squawk. I think he has ceased to be. He is an ex general.
 
Disturbing.

I agree, but reading the artical its clearly states they are looking to sell Russia the missiles "After" the current conflict is over.

While I frown on selling any weapons to Russia with the current leadership in place, it remains to be seen what Russia will look like after the current conflict is over. It may be the same leadership, and it may be completely different, for better or worse. I don't pretend to know what the results will be for Putin.

If I'm India selling anything to Russia I want US$ cash in advance before I lift a finger. I don't know what Russia will look like politically by 2030, but the place is going to be economically bankrupt.
