Russian state TV Rossiya-24 broadcast a series of reports mocking the US and Germany after the Nato member countries finally agreed to send tanks to Ukraine

Russian state TV reacted with acerbic putdowns on Wednesday to the news that the US and Germany had finally agreed to send tanks to Ukraine. The Rossiya-24 TV channel broadcast a series of mocking stories.

In one on-air sequence titled 'Toothless cats', the presenter said the German-made tanks were 'more primitive', heavier, less manoeuvrable and had a shorter firing range compared with Russian T-90s. Pointing to an on-screen graphic showing a fictional battle between T-90 and Leopard tanks, the news anchor said half of the Nato platoon would be hit before even reaching the battlefield.
