Russian Defense Ministry claimed a John Deere 4830 self-propelled sprayer for a destroyed German Leopard 2 tank
The Russian Defence Ministry has reported the destruction of eight German Leopard 2 tanks. Moreover, the ministry even published a video that confirms the destruction of the fighting vehicle. But there is a nuance.
Here's What We Know
The video below shows a Ka-52 helicopter launching an anti-tank guided missile allegedly at a Leopard 2 tank. It was in the field together with "other military equipment".

As it turned out, the German tank turned out to be a John Deere 4830 self-propelled sprayer. Next to it were combines. Hopefully there were no people in the combines or the sprayer.
In the image above you can see how the Russian propagandists see any machinery in Ukraine. Previously, they had passed off an AMX-10RC armoured vehicle and an M109 self-propelled howitzer as a destroyed Leopard 2 tank.
