If an incursion happened like what happened in Belgorod, would Belarus collapse?

Your brain has a severe deficiency of lead.

no such thing, thats Pozzia
If Russia had wanted to win, they would have negotiated an inclusion of Belarus into the war in exchange for disputed border territories and a little more
Very powerful. It would be extremely painful to engage them in combat.
It would lose a battle against the NYPD
On paper It Is kinda bad in practice It Is very bad
They have some comfy music
The subject matter and vibe probably reflects the actual energy of the Belarusian military
It's an unreformed hybrid soviet/90's crash conscript army with a budget less than that of Lithuania's military.
IMAGINE
this. the only thing going for them is all the soviet legacy equipment of which a part russia is already using
Also, I get that a kolhoz-potato economy has a much better purchasing power when buying things internally, hence the cheap cigarettes and dentistry, but I wonder how far that 600 million USD equivalent budget gets you in maintaining stockpiles larger most of Europe's big powers'
we'll likely find out sooner or later. after ukraine, belarus is next.
Belarus has some of the best mining trucks in the world made there. That is the only thing worthwhile happening in that country now that Molchat Doma are based elsewhere.
Pic related?
Belarus seems like a country where everything is basically okay. Just okay. It's a police state which is bad and your Molchat Dolmas have to leave to go play their sad gothic tunes somewhere else, but it is really clean and rather beautiful too and things basically work okay, and you will work, at the potato factory. Which is not exciting. But it's a job.
Here's another Belarusian military song. It's called Border Dog. It's about a dog who guards the border.
This is a fun one: "Aviation of Our Country." It's like a military that doesn't have many MiGs, but it feels like a place where the people who work on the MiGs know everything there is to know about them, and they actually work, unlike Russia. Sometimes, smaller is better.
I actually can't recall anyone really hating on Belarus. They don't seem all that different from the other eastern european countries, and that includes Ukraine. Once Luka leave the job one way or other, they could be... okay.
I've read that culturally they're similar in some ways to Nordic peoples. Kinda like Finland. The people are more introverted and calm compared to Russians (and Ukrainians) and it takes a few drinks to get them to open up. They like sauna.
Much poorer than Finland of course, people don't make much, but every image I've seen of Belarus makes it look really clean. It's all rather organized. Most people don't speak any English and there are few tourists but people are curious about foreign visitors.
Belarusian is very similar language wise to Ukrainian. Culturally quite the same too.
medieval belarus was part of poland lithuania, similar to other baltic states they banded together to tell the teutonic order to frick off during germany's eastward expansion because they were christian already
>How powerful is the Belarusian military?
at this stage (after giving away all their armor to ziggers) it's likely to get btfo'd by kiev cops and territorial defense forces
We have Polonez.
And Russia is giving us nukes. Best not frick with us.
Would be hilarious if that nuke had an accident tbh
Define powerful. Yes, they have soldiers and equipment. Training is doubtful, experience is zero, but they can probably function as long as noone are shooting at them. What they don't have is a united vision. Lukachenko is barely keeping his political ship afloat at this point and the population isn't successfully brainwashed. Taking substantial losses in a war the population doesn't want to be part of would probably cost Luka his power. And he knows it, which is why Belarusian soldiers haven't even set foot yet in the shitshower in Ukraine. As Putin's arm diminishes in reach, the less squeeze he can put on Luka.
An incursion would be different. Actually defending the nation unites the people and the political wings. It would increase support for Luka. The one reason we haven't had false flag operations already is the considerable risk that Belarusians would reveal it, and well and truly bury Luka in the backlash.
>How powerful is the Belarusian military?
They are not quite as well trained and equipped as the Russian military. Yes, they are that bad.
the military couldnt even hold off their own civilian population, they needed help from daddy putin
imagine if they actually had to face another militray
Never ever talk of Finns and Belarussians in the same sentence or even in the same paper of book!
Belarus is a Dictatorian autoriatrian police state. A country that recently downed an internationally routed jet liner to land in Belarus on a fake pretex of terrorists, just to capture one of the passangers - state enforced piratism that breaks all possible international laws you and I can think of.
The present regime will end if just enough people would rise up against it, Historically when looking at last 100 years or so, it takes in average just 2,5 - 3% of population to rise up to make the rulers fall down!
Whatever military they had got stripped down by Russia when the Ukraine War started going bad. The only ones armed are the police force in case the populace finally decides they're tired of old Luka.
Does the guy on the far right have a lizard pattern cap?
As a Russian i can tell you that so called Belarus is not a land or a culture, they are Russian. They are us.
Once they join the effort for Novorussia the west will have problems.
