I present to you an article about the current state of the Belarussian military and if either it or Russia are secretly gathering forces to launch another drive on Kyiv in 2 weeks time
https://frontelligence.substack.com/p/lingering-menace-military-transformations
It's not long and really worth a read, but some key points:
>Belarussian military budget tripled in the past 5 years, but it's still below 2% of their GDP
>This extra money wasn't spent on hardware acquisition or modernization, but rather training exercises and modernizing the mobilization system
>Said exercises focused on UAV operations and camouflage against UAVs
>Belarus setup a new operational command on the Ukrainian border in 2022, but they've done nothing with it besides starting building a tiny military base that won't be finished for another several years
>They've also built 2 (TWO) kilometre-long defensive line on the Ukrainian border which covers around 0.2% of the entire border
>Some of the Su-30s they've recently purchased actually arrived
>Russian presence in Belarus is limited mostly to a few AD units and instructors
>Wagner remnants are still in Belarus training internal security troops how to shoot protesters
>Potential for involvement in Ukraine? Lol lmao
Hopefully Bypol shits on them from the inside
Western donors cut donations to bypol after that AWACS blew in Belarus. It's all a joke.
That's lame, the AWACS attack was hilarious
qrd?
>The Association of Security Forces of Belarus (Belarusian: Aб'яднaннe ciлaвiкoў Бeлapyci, romanized: Abiadnannie silavikou Bielarusi), also known as BYPOL, is a Belarusian organization that was created by former employees of law enforcement agencies to counter the Belarusian authorities. The association has channels on YouTube and Telegram, on which it publishes various videos related to the security forces, and also doxes law enforcement officers.

I don't understand, why would westerners stop donating after they pulled off successful partisan activity? I'm not even saying I don't believe you, but I can't follow the logic chain. Do you have more info?
*puke*
compare that with chinese
.
the absolute state of yurotrash.
I love Lukashenko so much he's such a great grifter.
I like to see how many milliseconds it takes for him to start sucking western wiener once Putin is gone.
the moment power structure that putin built around himself collapses lukashenko will have to declare martial law, if his internal security wont prove loyal when it happens he is a dead man walking
If Putin is gone and is replaced by anything other than the same kind of dictator Luka is dead and he knows it.
This I unironically hopes he makes it out alright
He's a survivor
Any country’s military with
>palace guards
>military parades
>authoritarian leadership
Sucks due to
>design to quell rebellions rather than fight
>focus on aesthetics
>centralization for control
See: Saddam’s Iraq, Russia, Libya, etc.
Looks like all militaries suck, then.
Only country that is exempt from this is Germany...
Either moronic
Or krout

Not really the W youd like shill, losing 35k dudes over a waste pile 3 miles from the starting point of the war 2 years ago
idk, iraq did pretty well in the iran war.
Oh great, are we going to see Diet Russians pissing about near Pripyat digging in the radioactive soil again?
I just want to know if they wear wool pantys?
Why was it "easier" in Russia eyes to take over Ukraine lands instead of Belarus lands first? Why didn't Russia take all of Belarus first?
After Putin bailed Luka out of the 2020 election protests, he's a fully owned asset. They don't really need to invade, because Luka already has to do Putin's bidding, like allowing the invasion through their border, hosting nukes, etc. But at the same time, Putin is the only thing keeping Luka alive. When the Wagner mutiny started, the Belarusian Legion in Ukraine was ready to kick off the revolution, and they probably would have succeeded.
I'm really hoping that they get their chance to overthrow Luka if something happens with Putin. I have some Belarusian friends and they deserve better. And the people really want him out, they had like 40% of their population participating in the protests back in 2020.
Belarus, for whatever reason, has a higher average IQ than Russia or Ukraine. Makes sense, given that the only businesses I've ever seen or interacted with there are all manufacturing and IT.
I don't believe that for a second when Wargaming is Belarusian and the absolute state of modern world of warships speaks for itself
WoT was made in Belarus, WoWP was made in Kyiev and WoWS was made in St. Petersburg
I find it amusing how Belarus's local population went from wanting to be part of Russia to despising it within a few years of the war.
>the current state of the Belarussian military and if either it or Russia are secretly gathering forces to launch another drive on Kyiv in 2 weeks time
This shit again
If anyone is still somehow thinking that the Belarusian military will get involved in Ukraine, it's 0%. They will refuse to go and are more likely to start a rebellion at home than actually go serve. Lukashenko knows that, which is why he's made such a concerted effort to keep them from being involved.
6th from the left or 3rd from the right please.
>Some of the Su-30s they've recently purchased actually arrived
russia will be needing those back
if putin decided to pull off his final pobeda and annex belarus to make it the 47th oblast, would luka's army even put up a fight?
I think they would. When there were rumors about them possibly being involved in Ukraine, there were high-ranking Belarusian officers specifically telling the rank-and-file to abandon their posts if ordered into Ukraine, so the discontent is high. And the one thing Lukashenko can tide them over with right now is that he's kept them from being annexed. If that goes away, I really do believe it'd be civil war at the least.
Belarus has spent a lot of its history outside of Russia (as part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, for example) and every time things have been good for them, the Russians have come in and ruined it. There's a lot less love for Russia there than people think.

Thread is gay. De-gay it now.
He's going to rush Moldova
Luka ain't gonna do shit. His main concern is to not get gadaffi'd nor prigozhin'd. His army is for internal use only.
