Eventually they ran out of T-64s to hand over and said "fuck it" and went with T-72s. And BTR-82s, Strelas, Nona, Kornet, etc etc etc.
But thats not the way it works dude.. The RUssian Government do not want more sanctions ,
it care so much about its economy , that forced the rebels to be happy with an Autonomy and give up for the moment its independence dreams..
Sending Weapons without any hiding ,could only help the west in their propaganda that the
Russian armed forces are inside.. and that could help kiev , use that as a propaganda tool..
not only showing Russian Army is inside.. but that Soldiers are being killed in the many thousands . and there People will start to protest in Russia main cities demanding Russian soldiers to return. .. And this will also have a negative effect in Russia economy..
In short is not the way it works.. This is not about emotions as you believe.. Putin have given
enough evidence already he is never driven by emotions.. but by effective policy that could
allow Russia to avoid being isolated by US from Europe. See?
The marks on a tank that says "death to Aidar" in what way it proof it was in Ukraine? even if it was real the marks? If they wrote Death to America.. will you still claim blindly is proof Russia invaded America?
I don't think Russia will send equipment to Ukraine ,that NATO could capture and not only use it
not only against the kremlin for provoke unrest in Russia about "thousands Russian soldiers killed" .. but to steal its technology and understand exactly what kind of weapons and defense capabilities Russia have.. its Domestic weapons.. which are different to exports.
If Russia wanted to send tanks ,they will send tanks of Crimea.. with reinforced protection..and electronics to keep a low profile but not a tank that can easily expose Russia. "Death to aidar"
markings is not a proof the tank was ever in Ukraine at all. and if it was photoshoped even less .
