Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar has investigated the claim and found it to be misleading. The video is unrelated to the Ukrainian-Russian conflict. The footage is old and was uploaded on Youtube back in January 2021 as a tutorial filmed inside the M1 Abrams tank.

According to the YouTube channel Military Archive, the clip was filmed during the Gunnery Table XII conduction at Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany, in 2014. It was filmed by a helmet camera video of the M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank crew.
