Isn't most Russian military hardware overhyped and underwhelming?
Hypersonic Hype? Russia’s Kinzhal Missiles and the Lessons for Air Defense - Modern War Institute
The May 4 interception of a Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile by one of Ukraine’s Patriot air defense systems in Kyiv has caused a significant stir in the international missile defense […]mwi.usma.edu
I already commented many messages ago that Kinzhal was nothing else than an Air Launched Ballistic Missile with terminal guidance.
Hang an ATACMS from a plane and you have a Kinzhal lookalike.

Belarus must be seriously worried. If Russia has to retreat, supporting Belarus will be right at the bottom of their priority list. I am thinking of Mussolini.
China, Iran, Belarus, and Armenia all fear a Russian defeat in Ukraine
China, Iran, Belarus, and Armenia all have different motivations for backing the Kremlin, but they are united by a common fear of what a Russian defeat in Ukraine might mean for their own countries, writes Taras Kuzio.www.atlanticcouncil.org

No, they won't be given to Ukraine, they'll make up for other Leo2 sent to Ukraine. Sending the Swiss tanks to Ukraine is explicitely forbidden. The tanks will be sold to Rheinmetall to refurbish them. I assume they will be sent to the Czechs whose Leo2 may have been diverted to Ukraine and probably 1-2 other countries.

An interesting comment from the UK daily briefing
Russia's military has been experiencing a wave of desertion with reports of AWOLS among soldiers since the start of the year already surpassing the numbers recorded in 2022. The UK Ministry of Defence's latest Ukraine war briefing explores the surge in desertions and suggested the Russian military's issues have probably deteriorated since reservists have been required to be mobilised starting last October.
The MoD intelligence note on Wednesday stated: "Reliable research conducted by independent journalists in Russia indicates that there has been a significant increase in cases of military personnel going absent without leave (AWOL) between January and May 2023, surpassing the total number of such cases in 2022.
"The Russian military has encountered challenges in maintaining discipline within its ranks during its operations in Ukraine, and these difficulties have likely intensified following the compulsory mobilization of reservists since October 2022.
"Data from military courts reveals that a majority of those found guilty of going AWOL are currently receiving suspended sentences, allowing them to be redeployed for the 'special military operation'.

Lukashenko and his inner circle may be worried. The people of Belarus, after they've given this group the Ceaușescu/Mussolini exit, will party like it's 1999.
