Is this real or A.I.?

Did that vehicle get hit by
a drone or a mine?

WH Press Corps needs to grow a spine and ask her point blank the meaning of this video.

This time of year the trees should have leaves and the grasses and herbaceous plants
would be green.

Russian state-run media has released a video of troops driving a captured US-made armored vehicle in Ukraine — flying both Russian and American flags in an unusual bit of propaganda.

Russian state-run media has released a video of troops driving a captured US-made armored vehicle in Ukraine — flying both Russian and American flags in an unusual bit of propaganda.

The footage, published Monday by RT, shows what appears to be a US M113 armored personnel carrier operating near the front lines in Zaporizhzhia. RT said the APC was "captured" from Ukrainian forces.

The broadcaster suggested that a US vehicle flying a Russian and American flag into combat against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could be a "sign of the times."

The US Department of Defense has sent over 900 M113s to Kyiv since Russia's invasion in February 2022. However, according to the open-source intelligence site Oryx, which tracks equipment losses on both sides of the war, at least 397 of these combat vehicles, made by American company FMC Corporation, have been destroyed, damaged, abandoned, or captured by Russia. Official figures on combat losses are unavailable.

using AI. It looks like AI to me. Those flags stand out like sore thumbs compared to everything else in the video. I call fake.
