Russian Military Mistakenly Claims Destruction of Leopard Tank, Actually Harvester or Tractor

Russia claimed to have destroyed eight German-made Leopard 2 main battle tanks in Ukraine, but a video released by Russian state media as evidence actually showed farm equipment being targeted. The claims have been dismissed as propaganda by Kyiv, and the video has been widely mocked on social media. Experts say the point of such misinformation campaigns is not necessarily to be factual, but to create a plausible narrative and muddy the waters of truth.
