Belarus is transferring military equipment from its active units to Russia at Moscow’s request. Russia asked Belarus for this equipment after events in the Kursk region, as Russia is facing a severe shortage of weapons in this and other areas.

1. Either to reinforce their losses, or make a take over of Belarus much easier…

2. Hm. What are the chances of Belarus joining in the defence of Kursk, I wonder…that’s pretty much what their alliance is **for** after all and it’s probably a politically easier sell than “join the invasion of Ukraine” has proven to be.

3. I dream of Ukraine being able to pull off an invasion of Belarus resulting in a quick overthrow of Lukashenko. He’s incredibly unpopular, has lost elections, and is only kept it power by force. If he were overthrown, Belarus would end up permanently severed from Russia’s orbit, perhaps even joining NATO eventually with Ukraine.

4. Tonight, Poland announces an exercise on the border with Belarus, an exercise in which tanks, troop carriers, anti-aircraft and aviation will be involved.

5. If Belarus joins the war then nato countries can join also.

6. I see Lukashenko is still working hard to being the colonel Putin promised he will be.

7. Sending their rusty BMP-1s to Russia sort of works against the notion that they’re preparing to strike Ukraine for imaginary drones.

8. If this is true then it’s sanction time

9. Poland and Lithuania…. NOWS YOUR CHANCE

10. Ukraine successfully demilitarizing lasts dictatorship countries of Europe 😎✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️

11. What I don’t get is how you can run out of weapons in a 3-day war? Or even 3 weeks.

12. Alright, so now we get to bleed Belarus out as well. Without trained troops, those weapons aren’t nearly as effective, and I’m sure we have a large amount of ATGMs and HIMARS ready to smoke them too.

13. Stupid question but will they get paid for this or is it just a hand it over situation?

14. You love to see it!

15. You know when Moscow is requesting military assistance from Belarus things are looking no Bueno for Vlad.

16. How pathetic is it to have to beg your puppet for weapons? Yikes.

17. Wait, didn’t they send their tanks to the southern border just yesterday?

18. That is desperation.

    Look on the bright side though.

    Belorussian sling shots have no ammunition supply problems!

19. What a little bitch.

20. Cool. That means this could be a good time for the military uprising in Belarus that embedding Russian military units was intended to stave off. I want more dominoes to fall.

21. Poland could put an end to the KIT transfer if they truly wanted to help.

22. Must be getting desperate if they’re asking Belarus for resupply

23. They already sent ~100 T72 and a bunch of BMP1 back in late ’22, they’re already stretched thin.

    Although from Lukashenko’s perspective if Putin loses he goes down with him so no price is too high.

24. Luka: “All have is potato harvester, Comrade.”

    Putin: “Fine..”

25. My understanding is that Belarus “donated” Russia most of its armor and APCs in late 2022 to replace losses from the Kyiv attack. I’m betting they don’t have much left to give.

26. I thought belarus gave russia all their tanks and artillery a year and a half ago?

27. Can we do a little green men 2014 situation? Only they would be protecting people to actually vote.

28. Well, well, well. What an *opportunity*

29. What if Ukraine has plans to advance north west towards Lithuania and completely block Belarus off from Russia?I can only imagine the panic lukashenko and his goons will experience. It can cause another revolution attempt in Belarus. If putin loses Belarus, he would really feel defeated. But it would probably take Ukraine another 10-20k troops to grab that much more land.

30. The fucking one of the strongest armies on the planet being bailed out by North Korea and Belarus… what’s next, Afghanistan will chip in??? It’s like the US going to Portugal asking to lend some ships. What the fuck…
