Footage circulated by Russian state-owned media was widely mocked by Western OSINT investigators and pro-Kremlin military bloggers alike.
Russian media published a video purporting to show the destruction of a German-made"Leopard" tank in a field in Ukraine, shortly after the Russian Defense Ministry said it had successfully destroyed several Western-supplied tanks and armored vehicles in its efforts to stop Kyiv's counteroffensive.
However, the claim appeared to be debunked in Russia's own"milblogger" community after several reporters noticed the vehicles in the clip strongly resembled U.S.-made tractors and combine harvesters.Misinformation Watch assessed the claims, counterclaims and various pieces of OSINT analysis to determine the facts behind the footage.
