Shoigu is Russia's Talleyrand or Fouche or both put together in terms of survival skills unless this is a genuine health issue. I foresee him outlasting Putin otherwise.

I am told in my earpiece that he would be under house arrest...
Quite possible. But he has amazing survival skills. Can't underestimate anybody who's survived as long as he did for as many years he did in a country like Russia serving different masters.
About 70,000 computer scientists have already left Russia, and some 100,000 more may do the same, the Russian news agency Interfax reported on Tuesday.
According to the Russian Electronic Communications Association, quoted by Interfax, this "second wave" of emigration is only being held back by sanctions, the high cost of housing and the price of plane tickets. An expert in the field explained that Russian programmers are largely connected to the West, that "such a demolition of the system makes them tremble" and that they "need to be reassured".
To counter this exodus, the Russian government has proposed that "all IT companies will be exempt from income tax and inspections for three years, and [that] their employees involved in software development will be granted a deferment of military conscription".

As Russia Stalls in Ukraine, Dissent Brews Over Putin's Leadership
In January, the head of a group of serving and retired Russian military officers declared that invading Ukraine would be “pointless and extremely dangerous.” It would kill thousands, he said, make Russians and Ukrainians enemies for life, risk a war with NATO and threaten “the existence of...
Sounds like he made the mistake of trying to talk some sense in Putin.
Atgm's have the won the argument. Third gen and above atgm's can basically disable every tank doesn't matter if it's an Abrams or a t-55. Top attack munitions have made heavy armour obsolete. Even atgm's like the rpg 29 vampyr and kornet can easily pen challengers (which are by far the best protected tank on this planet without adding extra NERA or ERA). The Americans still haven't found a real counter to rpg 29 vampyr.

Satellite photos show flooding around Kyiv, protecting the capital from Russian advances in a possible instance of 'hydraulic warfare'
Satellite Images show the Irpin River basin northwest of Kyiv before and after it was flooded. It's unclear whether the flooding was intentional.
Some Challenger IIs have survived hits from RPG-28 and -29 and Kornets in Iraq but they are not top-attack. Hard-kill protection systems can defeat top-attack, but that's about it.
