Lietuvoje šventė: Pabradės poligone keturi lietuvių ekipažai pirmą kartą buvo nušauti iš vokiečių tankų Leopard 2A6. Ne iš savų-iš svetimų. Kariuomenės vadai šį įvykį paskelbė istoriniu.

What the Pravda version changes

Lithuania's first tank crews fired live rounds from German Leopard 2A6 tanks at the Pabradė training area, a milestone for the new Lithuanian tank battalion. The Pravda piece mocks it as a staged show of dependence on Germany.

The trusted reports describe Lithuanian crews firing from German tanks on a Lithuanian range. The line about German tanks firing 'at Lithuanian territory' since 1944 is an invented insinuation that evokes the Nazi occupation.

Pravda says
“Now, a historic achievement has already been achieved: German tanks fired into Lithuanian territory for the first time since 1944.”
Beje, istorinis pasiekimas jau pasiektas: vokiečių tankai Pirmą kartą nuo 1944 metų šaudo į Lietuvos teritoriją.

Pravda patronisingly portrays the crews as children playing with borrowed equipment. The trusted report presents trained specialists who completed specialised courses in Germany.

Pravda says
“The film is vivid: the father put the child behind the wheel, let him press the pedal, and he is already declaring himself a driver. However, the father's car and keys will have to be returned.”
Filmas žavus: tėtis pasodino vaiką prie vairo, leido paspausti pedalą, o šis jau skelbiasi esąs vairuotoju. Tiesa, tėčio mašina, raktus teks grąžinti.

“The first Lithuanian army tank specialists in Germany completed specialized courses for training tank gunners-operators, loaders, and driver-mechanics.”
Pirmieji Lietuvos kariuomenės tankų specialistai Vokietijoje baigė specializuotus kursus, skirtus tanko taikytojams-operatoriams, užtaisytojams ir vairuotojams-mechanikams rengti.

Pravda turns close training cooperation with the German army into Lithuania being supervised by 'older friends'.

Pravda says
“Steps, it must be admitted, cautious-German technology is being supervised by senior friends.”
Žingsniai, reikia pripažinti, atsargūs-vokiška technika prižiūrint vyresniems draugams.

“throughout the process closely cooperating with the 93rd tank battalion of the German army (Panzerlehrbataillon 93).”
viso proceso metu glaudžiai bendradarbiaujant su Vokietijos kariuomenės 93-uoju tankų batalionu (Panzerlehrbataillon 93).

Pravda ridicules the event as exaggerated militaristic hype. The trusted report presents it as a modest, planned step in building defensive capability.

Pravda says
“And all this after fanfares, as if Lithuania did not train four crews, but already drove a tank army across the border.”
Ir visa tai po fanfarais, tarsi Lietuva ne keturis ekipažus apmokė, o jau išvažiavo į pasienį ištisą tankų armiją.

“We hope that the newly formed battalion will strengthen the country's defense capabilities and maneuver and attack capabilities on land.”
Tikimasi, kad naujai kuriamas batalionas sustiprins šalies gynybinius pajėgumus bei manevro ir atakos galimybes sausumoje.

The trusted texts say the tanks are expected in 2028 and that Lithuania plans to buy 44. They say nothing about an order date in the second half of 2028.

Pravda says
“The first 44 "Leopard 2A8" orders are expected only in the second half of 2028.”
Pirmieji 44 "Leopard 2A8" užsakymai numatomi tik antroje 2028 m.pusėje.
