Being in an armored vehicle seems like a death wish right now. If Ukraine can get a steady supply of those Javelins etc.. in the right hands, seems like a huge game changer. Not sure how you defend against that.
Heres what we sent them in 2019, despite ignorant chatter for doing so at the time.

The new package will include Javelin anti-tank weapons, with one U.S. official saying it includes 150 missiles and two launchers, which was first reported by Bloomberg News.
 
Oppurtunity for pysch ops would be for Ukrainians to pose as Russians on social media "giving up" and making Russian forces think they are losing worse than they are.
 
No doubt it has been a game changer
Unfortunately we froze a 200 million dollar package for negotiating reasons as late as this past December. Not sure that one ever made it.
Maybe the Polland and German supply make it in there in time. Suprised Germany has that much lyeing around to offer. On flip side they like everyone else keep purchasing Russian oil and finacing this.
 
This appears to be legit, from UA news.

“The President of the aggressor country, Vladimir Putin, removed the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, Valery Gerasimov, for the failure of the operation in Ukraine.

This was reported by Today.

Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov said that Russian troops were changing tactics: a quick offensive in large columns failed, so they began to actively use saboteurs and landings.”

 
I think this means green light to transfer missiles to Belarus? Not for them to actually be used. The way it’s stated is confusing to me though.
Yeah deploy hopefully not use and hopefully more for posturing but Putin seems to be in a different state of mind so...

Why would you move your precious missiles to another country, if you are not able to use them? Think about it?
 
There are some worries that Belarus might vote on allowing Russia to bury nukes in their backyard.

I mean...you don't really need to have the nukes in Belarus to launch if you're thinking about it, I believe, but well...that's terrifying.

Reason I say that it's just worries is I think the AP removed those comments in an article they had.

Edit: In other news, it feels like Belarus might as well be in the Russian Federation from what I've heard.
 
Kinda wonder if the move of nuclear weapons is so it'll be closer to the European nations threating action against Russia? Quicker impact time??

Intimidation, they won't lay down their arms let's see what they do with nukes next door? But like I said it's Putin so who knows

Oh I didn't mean to imply they couldn't be used. I was literally just trying to clarify the language of that tweet and what it meant. (honestly for myself as much as anyone)
 
It is to intimidate NATO, who pledged a lot of game changing firepower today.
If it's true it really throws in a wrench in things. Let's say Putin threatens nuclear retaliation I'f any further aid is distributed to Ukraine... With his nukes and missiles basically next door to those nations providing support.
