But the fact is that this train belongs to Belarus, not the russian federation. The last shots show a passenger car in the livery of the Belarus Railways. And when the troops are transferred from russia, the wagons of the russian Railways are used.

Applying such a sign often means the emergence of a new rather large group and/or direction of hostilities. In particular, such signs as the letters Z, V, O became a characteristic feature of the marks of the russia’s equipment, which operated in the north, south and east of Ukraine.

In the future, most likely, the newly formed russia’s 3rd Army Corps had a tactical sign in the form of an inverted triangle with a circle, which however turned out to be extremely difficult to apply for them.

If the information is correct, then there should be a "two" in the middle of the triangle. The symbolism of this marking, such as "the second front" or "the second attempt" will be left behind brackets.

At the same time, according to the official statement of the Ministry of Defense of Belarus, russian regular units have already started arriving in Belarus to form the so-called "regional group". Tactical markings are not visible on the official videos.

But a video has already appeared on the Internet showing the move of other Belarusian artillery units, in particular the 220-mm Uragan MLRS with a similar tactical sign. It is noted that this unit was spotted 5 km from the border with Ukraine.

Defense Express notes that on October 16 russia’s MiG-31’s were spotted in Minsk, which can carry Kinzhal missiles and long-range air-to-air missiles.
