The caption of the video claims that tanks and drones will be donated to Kosovo, without specifying which country the donation will come from.
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been proven that this claim is false.

Analyze:
A TikTok account has published a video showing footage of military equipment that is claimed to be donated to Kosovo.
However, hibrid.info has not found evidence from official sources that supports the alleged publication and has found that the military equipment shown in the video belongs to the state of Egypt.
Therefore, based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this content as "Fake News".
Rating:
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 rated as fake news can be determined with certainty 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.
