A video circulating online falsely claims to show British tanks ammassing in the Estonian capital of Tallinn as part of a NATO plan to "attack" the Russian city of St Petersburg.
One post sharing the claim on X has been seen over 800,000 times.
It wrongly claims that "NATO has arrived in Estonia. British soldiers and tanks in Tallinn plan to attack Saint Petersburg."
At the time of publication of this article, no community notes cautioning users of the false information was added to the post on the Elon Musk-owned platform.
The same claim has been amplified across several platforms including Instagram and Facebook.
Euroverify found that the footage in fact shows the British Army's Royal Dragoon Guards in Tallinn on 24 February 2025 as part of a parade to celebrate Estonia's Independence Day.
Over 1,000 Estonian Defence Forces (EDF) and NATO allied troops took part in that annual military parade to mark the 107th anniversary of Estonia's independence.
Vehicles from the United Kingdom, France and the United States were part of the annual procession.
Euroverify identified the site of the footage in the centre of Tallinn, near the Estonian Drama Theatre.
The site can be seen in the image above captured from Google's Street View.
The same address was closed for traffic during the parade to allow for the passage of tanks.
