Kremlin defence chiefs have been mocked for claiming to destroy a Leopard 2 tank - when in fact they hit a combine harvester in Ukrainian fields.
The ministry’s propaganda team told Russian media that footage shows “the destruction of foreign armoured vehicles, including Leopard tanks”.
But the claim of destroying the German-supplied tanks quickly backfired, as military analysts disputed the footage, saying it appeared to show Russia blasting farm vehicles with a missile from a Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter.
