It is claimed that Turkish T-Firtina tanks will be added to the Kosovo Security Force at the end of September.
This claim was published on August 14 by the pages "Me Albin Kurtin" and "Informohu24h" on Facebook.
The truth?
After online research by hibrid.info, such a claim has not been found published by any credible source.

By researching information about this type of Turkish tank, hibrid.info has confirmed that this type of military equipment is expected to be supplied. Qatar and Ukraine, while the agreement had failed with Saudi Arabia. (see here)
So, in no case is it emphasized that Kosovo will be equipped with this type of tank at the end of September.
Hibrid.info has also searched Google regarding this claim, but the results do not provide any information published by credible sources. (see here)
Analyze:
The claim that the KSF will be equipped with Turkish T-Firtina tanks at the end of September is false.
This equipment is expected to be supplied to countries such as Qatar and Ukraine, while there is no published information proving that Kosovo will also be supplied with T-Firtina tanks.
