As the #Ukraine offensive unrolls, #Russia intensified its disinformation campaign on previously unseen levels, here's just two examples of decent quality fakes that many Ukrainian and Western groups happily shared and discussed... Don't believe anything posted in low quality, all these 640×480 "drone videos" can be dismissed as fakes straight away. Don't believe any still frames "taken from UAV videos" unless a video has been also published in high quality. Be very careful about drawing any conclusions about anything else and remember during the Izyum campaign Russians were also confidently claiming they control the front firmly.
Fake: 2023 photo of a Leopard tank burning on a dirt road. In reality, the Leopard figure was copied onto an older photo of a damaged T72. Fake: Russian helicopters destroying two Leopard tanks. It's a real 2022 video but the targets were not tanks but John Deere combine harvesters.
Original: 2022 photos of a T72 tank burning in Kherson
