Active Conflicts & News Megathread August 25, 2025

The r/CredibleDefense daily megathread is for asking questions and posting submissions that would not fit the criteria of our post submissions. As such, submissions are less stringently moderated, but we still do keep an elevated guideline for comments.

Comment guidelines:

Please do:

* Be curious not judgmental, polite and civil,

* Link to the article or source of information that you are referring to,

* Clearly separate your opinion from what the source says. Minimize editorializing. Do _not_ cherry pick facts to support a preferred narrative,

* Read the articles before you comment, and comment on the content of the articles,

* Post only credible information

* Read our in depth rules https://reddit.com/r/CredibleDefense/wiki/rules

Please do not:

* Use memes, emojis, swear, foul imagery, acronyms like LOL, LMAO, WTF,

* Start fights with other commenters and make it personal,

* Try to push narratives, fight for a cause in the comment section, nor try to 'win the war,'

* Engage in baseless speculation, fear mongering, or anxiety posting. Question asking is welcome and encouraged, but questions should focus on tangible issues and not groundless hypothetical scenarios. Before asking a question ask yourself 'How likely is this thing to occur.' Questions, like other kinds of comments, should be supported by evidence and must maintain the burden of credibility.

Are there any recent updates regarding the involvement of Belarus in the conflict? Are they still supplying ammo and equipment? Has Luka spoken about the conflict lately?

Also, are NK troops still directly fighting in Ukraine? Are they only used inside Russia?

Edit: why on earth would someone downvote me?

Well there’s the upcoming Zapad drills but these are expected to be very low key in comparison to previous years (only 30000 participating in all and a mere 8000 troops in Belarus proper per Lithuanian intelligence). I mean it’s not like Russia can muster much more at this point. Either way I’d expect Belarus to continue to operate as a safe staging ground for Russia than an active part of any military conflict, it’s far more beneficial that way.
