"Tank battles and bizarre vehicles: Latest updates on Russia-Ukraine conflict"

Russia claimed to have destroyed eight German-made Leopard tanks provided by NATO to Ukraine, but a video released by the Russian Ministry of Defense actually shows the destruction of a tractor. The video was shown by Russian state-controlled broadcasters and news sites, but weapons experts and military bloggers quickly cast doubt on the claim. The vehicles seen in the video appear to be large pieces of stationary farm machinery parked in a field, specifically a self-propelled sprayer and two combines used to harvest corn and wheat.
