In at least one case, Russia's claim to have destroyed several HIMARS rockets was misconstrued by Ukrainian and Western outlets as referring to a launcher, not the missiles. Russia regularly claims to have destroyed a HIMARS missile system, though so far no such losses have been confirmed by either Ukraine or the Pentagon. While Newsweek could not independently and conclusively identify the vehicles hit in the video, independent analysis and apparent consensus on both sides of the conflict strongly support the notion that it was indeed agricultural equipment and not the Leopard 2 tanks.īoth Russian and Ukrainian authorities have been accused in the past of misstating or exaggerating enemy losses in the past.

' MoD claimed the destruction of Ukrainian Leopard 2 tanks during the recent counter-offensive- hitting a new level of cope. For example, John Deere 4830,' the Special Kherson Cat account tweeted, adding the image of the tractor. 'Russians have released a video in which they claim a Russian Ka-52 helicopter strikes on 'Leopard 2 tanks.' Only for some reason this 'Leopard' looks more like a tractor. Instead of the German tanks, OSINT analysis indicated, Russian Ka-52 helicopter strikes appeared to have blown up a number of U.S.-made agricultural vehicles, including a John Deere 4830 sprayer tractor and a John Deere 9000 combine harvester. The reports of supposed losses were swiftly picked up by pro-Russian social media accounts, but soon questions began to emerge about the veracity of the claims around the footage. While neither ministry provided any evidence in support of the claims, on Tuesday Russian state-owned media outlet RIA Novosti published footage which, it said, showed 'the destruction of foreign armed vehicles, including Leopard tanks.' On the same day, Ukraine said Russian forces lost 37 artillery systems and 13 tanks in a single day. These included 'more than 1,600 troops, 28 tanks, including 8 Leopard tanks and 3 AMX-10 wheeled tanks, 136 other military vehicles, including 79 foreign-manufactured ones,' according to the ministry's statement.

This is a movie that makes you feel like you’ve been to war,” said Yoav Donat, who in the film relives the director’s role in the war manning the tank’s cannon.Ukrainian military conducts training on Leopard 2 tanks at the test site on in Ukraine and inset image from a Russian military video. “This is not a movie that makes you think ‘I’ve just been to a movie’. Packed with tension and graphic scenes that can be difficult to watch, the film thrusts the audience onto the battlefield by shooting the action almost entirely from inside the tank and through the cross hairs of the gunner’s lens.

What seems a routine mission quickly spirals out of control and turns into a death trap as the tank breaks down and loses its way in hostile territory. The movie follows four inexperienced soldiers inside a tank dispatched to “mop up” enemies in a Lebanese town that has already been bombarded by the Israeli Air Force. So harrowing was his experience as a 20-year-old conscript in the conflict that it took Maoz 25 years to muster the strength to write “Lebanon,” which has its world premiere at the Venice film festival on Tuesday.
