“A group of war tankers is moving to the Indian border from Bangladesh”
What FACTLY found
The viral photo originates from 2012 and shows the Bangladesh Army parade featuring fourth-generation China-made MBT-2000 main battle tanks. The then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced this milestone on 13 December 2012. While both India and Bangladesh are currently strengthening border security amidst ongoing tensions, this photo is unrelated to the recent crisis in Bangladesh.
