Belarus transferring equipment to their liege lord. There’s been lots of questions about why Russia’s vassal Belarus hasn’t joined the war. Well - a good reason is that they have a tiny, ineffective army of less than 50,000 soldiers. For a very good reason - Belarus’ army is designed to protect their muppet Lukashenko from domestic opposition, but remain small enough to not become independently powerful, or a threat to stand against Russia. While that makes perfect sense in keeping a weak vassal in power, it doesn’t make for a good strategic depth option. If they’re having to raid Belarus’ tiny and even-more-outdated-than-theirs stocks, this is well and truly the bottom of the equipment barrel options for Herr Putin.
These will be blown up looooong before they reach the fighting lol. Spy satellites are watching that border like a fucking hawk.
