Belarus sent a large amount of weapons to the Ukrainian border… What is tactical mark “B”?

When the war between Russia and Ukraine started, the letters Z, O and V were seen written on Russian vehicles, tanks and armored vehicles. Now B is seen written on Belarus’ military vehicles. Be it tanks or armored vehicles. Some time ago, Belarus President Lukashenko had talked about war with Ukraine.

Lukashenko had sent his 200 tanks, 1700 armored vehicles and a few thousand soldiers towards southern Russia to help the Russian army. At this time it is very difficult to tell whether they have returned or are fighting alongside the Russian army. There is no official information whether they are deployed or not because the B markings have disappeared from some vehicles or have been erased. There is a 1084 kilometer long border between Belarus and Ukraine.

Belarus, mysterious B word, Russia-Ukraine conflict

There is also a theory that Belarus is preparing for a new war with Ukraine. That too from its border. This will open a second front in the war. Ukraine’s troubles will increase. There is a high possibility of this happening. Because Belarus is a supporter of Putin. It is a friend of Russia. Therefore, a military treaty is expected between the two countries.
