The portal "Botasotere.com" through its Facebook page "Bota Sot E Re" has published a post through which it claims that Kosovo will be supplied with military equipment from Turkey "Boran 105mm" in October.
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info through online search engines, no information published in credible media was found that Kosovo will be equipped with this type of weaponry in October.

Also, one of the photos published in this portal's Facebook post was found published 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".

So, in no case is it mentioned that Kosovo will be equipped with this type of weaponry in October, as claimed by the "Botasotere.com" portal page on Facebook.
Hibrid.info has researched which countries have ordered such military equipment from Turkey, and based on the findings published online, it appears that so far only North Macedonia has ordered such weaponry.
On the website “ArmyRecognition.com”, the first online marketing and communication platform dedicated exclusively to the defense and security industry, an article was found indicating that in January 2023, North Macedonia has ordered 18 “Boran 105 mm” howitzers from Turkey. (see here)
Analyze:
The "Bota Sot E Re" Facebook page has falsely claimed that Kosovo will be supplied with military equipment from Turkey, the "Boran 105mm", in October.
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.
