00:00No, NATO troops are not amassing in Tallinn to attack Russia.
00:08A video circulating on social media claims to show British tanks amassing in Tallinn, Estonia's capital,
00:16in preparation to attack St. Petersburg in Russia.
00:20This post spreading the claim on X has been viewed over 800,000 times.
00:25But we found that the footage, in fact, shows the British Army's Royal Dragoon guards in Tallinn on February 24th this year to celebrate Estonia's Independence Day.
00:36According to our analysis, the footage was taken in this location next to the Estonian Drama Theatre in the centre of Tallinn.
00:45The same location was closed for the passing of tanks during the Independence Day procession on February 24th.
00:52A closer look at this tank's number plate shows it matches this photo provided by Estonian news agency ERR taken on the same day.
01:03Reuters found that the same tank was pictured in Estonia between May and December 2024,
01:10suggesting it's one of the British tanks deployed in the Baltic country as part of NATO's efforts to bolster its eastern flank.
01:18The video has been recirculating now just as British and French armed forces joined the Estonian Defence Forces in an exercise codenamed Hedgehog.
01:30This video shows several tanks taking part in the drills, which concluded last Friday.
01:35We can conclude with certainty that the British troops pictured in these videos spreading online
01:39were not there as part of a military escalation against Russia.
01:43The account which shared the claims has been linked to pro-Kremlin disinformation.
