Belarus has begun transferring tanks taken out of storage to Russia.
The CFTS portal reported this, citing a statement posted in the "Belarusian Gayun" Telegram channel.
According to the statement, the tanks are being sent to the Donbas.
"At the Orsha railway station (Vitebsk region), a train carrying tanks was spotted heading towards the Russian Federation. At least 12 T-72A tanks were seen,” the statement said.
It is assumed that these tanks were taken out of the Belarusian Armed Forces’ storage facility. "The Lukashenko regime has begun transferring heavy armored vehicles taken out of storage to the Russian Federation," the statement said.
