It is possible that Belarus transferred equipment to Western Military District and other Russian forces training there:

The Belarusian open-source Hajun Project reported on November 14 that the Belarusian military transferred 122 T-72A tanks to Russian forces, likely under the guise of sending them for modernization work in the Russian Federation.

The Hajun Project reported on November 17 that Belarus transferred 211 pieces of military equipment to Russian Armed Forces, including 98 T-72A tanks and 60 BMP-2s.

Allegedly Russians sent 200 x T-90M tanks, claimed to be newly produced. I find this round number a bit too convenient,and would like to see more proof that there are "around" 200. The Russians are establishing an operational reserve in the Luhansk Oblast.

Second article questions if that these T-90Ms are from the Russian strategic reserve.

If the events on the Ukrainian battlefields induced the twilight of armour as we know it, WW2 would have to be interpreted as the eclipse.
Neither are missiles inexpensive munitions, the launchers may be, except larger ATGM module attachments.
The UA requested ~5000 AFVs for further operations and the to see this conclusion on the internet is most likely no coincidence either.

The development and implementation of UGVs will be more relevant for the future and interesting to observe.

Zaluzhy interviewed with the press recently and stated that Ukraine needs: 300 more MBT, 700-600 IFV, 500 artillery pieces

Russian reporter visits T-14 training. It appears that there will be some sort of combat use/trials if this is the case.
