Default Re: New Russian OOB (or SPR OOB)

On which basis would you split the Russian OOB? In addition to the fact that an awful lot of units and weapon carry on for ages, I can't see a meaningful date where you could set the breaking point. 1990-91 or some post-CFE year earlier could be doable, but there would still be the duplicate problem.
Looking at it another way, could it maybe be split along geographical/organizational lines as with OOBs 12 and 13?
Maybe separate domestic and expeditionary forces, like the GSFG troops, naval forces and VDV in their own OOB, from the 50s to 1990?
I'm pretty sure that in Russian terms it doesn't make much sense, so personally, I'd advise shelving the whole splitting idea as bound to end in tears.

Regardless, do you guys at SPR have enough data for a revised Ukrainian OOB as well? And what about a separate "wixed" OOB for the Central Asia Republics?
