A few takeaways from the video:

Konstantin Rozhkov and the real reporter channel is almost certainly a form of Russian propaganda, but it is a very soft form of propaganda. There was no glaring misinformation however there are some items that should be noted.

#1. NEVER touch a destroyed tank unless you have to perform a rescue.

#2. Konstantin Rozhkov is Russian and may be trying to "act" like a westerner to make the propaganda more palateable.

#3. Abrams tanks that were sent to Ukraine we the M1A1 variant that was at least 32 years old. This was not the best western equipment.

#4. Russian tanks tend to use steel treads because they are cheap. Knocking the rubber track pads out of a western tank would create a less grippy surface on mud once the mud filled in the gap were the pad is.

#5. It is highly unlikely that British contractors would fly F-16s in Ukraine because the UK does not operate the F-16.

#6. None of the videos I looked at were monetized by YouTube. This may be an indicator that Konstantin Rozhkov has an alternate source of funding.
