A video with very rare footage started circulating on social media on Saturday. The drone footage was allegedly taken at the start of the Ukrainian counter-offensive and showed the confrontation between a Ukrainian Leopard 2 tank and two Russian tanks.

From the description of the images circulating on social networks, it is said that the battle between the tanks took place regarding 1.5 km away, but it is impossible to determine this only from the images presented.
Moreover, the video images are not extremely clear and also show a series of different frames, pasted together without the time elapsed between the captured moments being clear.
The information accompanying the video recording says that the Ukrainian Leopard 2 tank engaged two Russian T-80BVM tanks in battle from a distance of 1.5km. After one of the Russian tanks is hit and damaged, the two tanks retreat.

Some commentators, however, have pointed out that the explosion seems too powerful to be from a tank hit, but rather appears to be either an anti-tank mine or a heavy artillery hit. Others countered and said that the hit was from a tank because you can see, from the traces of the explosion, the direction from which it came.
