Switch firmware from Russian to Global - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

Hi guys.
I am new in Xiaomi devices and a little confuse about region firmware, lock and unlock bootloader in Xiaomi phones.
My Mi 9T firmware is latest russian firmware (QFJRUXM) and bootloader locked now (I do unlock bootloader before, but re-locked and back to official FW)
Can i unlock bootloader again, install global firmware with MiFlash Tool, then re-lock bootloader?
I hear only relock after switch from china to global or reverse can break device. Is this true?

Going back to Indian stock from Global

I have an Indian Redmi K20 which was on 11.0.3 India rom. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed the global 11.0.5 because I wanted to try a custom rom. Now I would like to go back to Indian rom but I'd like to keep the unlocked bootloader (assuming it doesn't mess with official ota updates).
I tried flashing the Indian 11.0.3 with miflashtool but got an anti rollback error, so I had to flash 11.0.5.
How do I go about it?

poco m3 clean & lock bootloader after region change from global rom

is that true statement?
after converting global rom to any other region we can relock bootloader?
it is only not allowed to install a different region MIUI ROM on China devices, global devices do not have this limitation.
yesterday I installed the European version on my citrus that had the Global ROM. I didn't get to re-lock bootloader, but everything worked perfectly

Source from other forum (website) : China default firmware to other region or any global rom can't be re-lock and vice versa. But as long as not china rom, you can re-lock as you like. I tried with my EU rom by default and unlocked the boatloader then to Indonesia rom and re-lock it, done and worry no more.

You mean EU or xiaomi.eu ROM ?
If I understood well, CN version phones can't relock into any other region MIUI stock rom nor xiaomi.eu (even if it's CN-based).
But most OEM allow relocking into different firmware region(e.g. OnePlus allows changing EU, GLO & IN versions and relocking afterwards).

Yes, the original firmware and not the mode one.
