The Facebook page called "Diaspora with Albin" published a post yesterday (December 20) claiming that the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) has been supplied with "Boran 105mm" military equipment.
After verification of the facts conducted by hibrid.info, no information was found published in credible media that the KSF was equipped with this type of weaponry.
Link to the article published on Facebook by the page "Diaspora with Albin":
One of the photos published in this Facebook page's post was found published on September 29 on the website of the Ministry of Defense in the Republic of Kosovo, the caption of which explains that "Deputy Minister of Defense, Shemsi Syla, together with the military attaché of the Republic of Kosovo in Turkey, Colonel Bekim Zejnullahu and Captain Bardhyl Dugolli from the KSF, at the invitation of the organizer, participated in the technology and aerospace festival "Teknofest" which is being held in Izmir, Turkey."

In addition, hibrid.info has researched the official Facebook pages of the Ministry of Defense and the KSF, and has not found any information that proves the claim made by the page “Diaspora with Albin”. (see here and here)
This is not the first time that this false claim has taken hold on social media, as one such claim was also published during October, and was also covered by hibrid.info. (see here)
Analyze:
The Facebook page "Disapora me Albinin" has falsely claimed that the KSF has been supplied with "Boran 105mm" military equipment.
Hibrid.info, after conducting research, has not found any articles published in the media regarding the supply of Kosovo with this equipment.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this post as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
