Borrowing from Belarus's stocks surely the sign of a winning strategy
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 If they're having to raid Belarus' tiny and even-more-outdated-than-theirs stocks, this is well and truly the bottom of the equipment barrel options for Herr Putin.

I'm pretty sure that I recall reading that Russia pulled heavy artillery munitions from Belarus a long time ago.

Yeah.
Investigation: Belarus sent over 130,000 tons of munitions to Russia in first year of full-scale war
Belarus' government, led by dictator Alexander Lukashenko, gave Russia 131,582 tons of ammunition, according to an investigative project of Belarusian journalist Anton Motolko.
The investigator cited railway union data describing the export of military supplies from Belarus to Russia from January 2022 to February 2023.
On average, Belarus moved over 10,000 tons of ammo into Russia each month, ten times more than it did before the full-scale war.
They started growing immediately after Russia's Feb. 24 all-out invasion.
Belarus's 43rd arsenal of rockets and ammunition provided the largest share, followed by the 46th arsenal and the 1405th artillery base.
These will be blown up looooong before they reach the fighting lol. Spy satellites are watching that border like a fucking hawk.
Makes sense, I mean he's been getting a lot of stuff from Kim Crazy the 3rd, and a lot of it doesn't work very well at all. Ammo does have an expiration date after all.
