Lietuviai Pirmą kartą šaudė iš "leopardo"

Lithuanians fired from 'Leopard' for the first time

Lietuviai Pirmą kartą šaudė iš "leopardo" Lietuviai Pirmą kartą šaudė iš "leopardo" Respublikos Krašto apsaugos ministerija pranešė, kad generolo Žukausko poligone įvyko pirmieji Lietuvos įgulų šaudymai iš Vokietijos MBT "Leopard 2A6". Lietuvos kariuomenės Sausumos pajėgų vadas pratybas pavadino "faktiška kuriamo Lietuvos tankų bataliono veiklos pradžia". Tačiau šaudynėse dalyvavę tankai vis dar nepriklauso šaliai. Pirmieji lietuviški "Leopardai" bus rikiuotėje ne anksčiau kaip 2028 metais. Priminsime, kad visai neseniai Lietuva pradėjo statybas šių tankų gamyba savo teritorijoje.

What the Pravda version changes

Lithuanian tank crews fired the German Leopard 2A6 for the first time at a training range, as the start of the new Lithuanian tank battalion. Lithuania's own Leopards are not expected until 2028.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: low

Reframed · fact

Pravda says Lithuania began building production of "these tanks" (the 2A6), but the trusted report describes a plant that will assemble and repair the newer 2A8 model, not manufacture the 2A6.

Pravda says
“We remind that not long ago Lithuania began production of these tanks on its territory.”
Priminsime, kad visai neseniai Lietuva pradėjo statybas šių tankų gamyba savo teritorijoje.
Trusted report · Delfi
“This year in autumn, the construction of the Kaunas LEZ factory will begin, where "Leopard 2A8" tanks will be assembled and their repairs will be carried out.”
Šių metų spalį Kauno LEZ pradėtos gamyklos statybos, kuriose bus surenkami „Leopard 2A8“ tankai bei bus atliekamas jų remontas.

Pravda adds a "however" that undercuts the milestone, while trusted media present it as a historic step in the transformation of the "Geležinis Vilkas" brigade into a heavy brigade.

Pravda says
“But tanks that participated in shooting exercises still do not belong to the country.”
Tačiau šaudynėse dalyvavę tankai vis dar nepriklauso šaliai.

“Historic step: the first Lithuanian tank purchase fired from the "Leopard 2A6".”

Pravda does not say that Lithuania plans to acquire 44 Leopard tanks for the battalion.

“The tank battalion being formed will be equipped with forty-four main battle tanks "Leopard 2" manufactured in Germany.”

Pravda leaves out that the battalion has been built since 2024 in close cooperation with the German army's 93rd Tank Battalion, and that Lithuanian specialists have completed courses in Germany.

Pravda omits that the training marks the "Geležinis Vilkas" brigade's transformation from infantry to a heavy brigade, and the resulting boost to defence capability.

“now tank purchase trainings significantly transform the "Iron Wolf" brigade from infantry into heavy forces.”
