Evidence is provided by photographs allegedly taken at the front.



The Centre for Strategic Communications reports:

The Russians have used a video of the 93rd IRBMr showing Ukrainian soldiers knocking down their T-72s. They photoshopped the tank to pass off their own destroyed equipment as that of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The occupiers regularly spread false information about "destroyed" tanks in Ukraine. Not long ago, they even tried to present combine harvesters as tanks.

The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed the destruction of AFU tanks, but in fact the occupiers mistook the combine harvesters for tanks.

In reality, these are combine harvesters, as they have distinctive discharge pipes and no turrets. One of the images also clearly shows four tractor wheels.

In addition, a propaganda channel published a dialogue between the crew of the Ka-52 helicopter, who failed to recognise the object in the scope and started "mistaking it for a target for training".
