A number of posts on Facebook and Twitter have went viral (pun intended), all of them share the same misleading image.

Here are some examples below, what’s wrong with the imagery?

A few points on this.

2. The British Army don’t operate those vehicles.

3. That’s the wrong side of the road for the UK.

Don’t let yourself fall for misinformation, always check what you share.
