A social media user decided to create a David Attenborough-style voiceover to depict a destroyed Russian tank – and people are raving about it.
Tetianaa Ukrainian mother and writer, tweeted Monday morning that she had teamed up with others to create a video for Saint Javelin, an organization that gives back to war-affected Ukrainian families.
In the video, a computer-generated 3D model of a destroyed Russian tank in the middle of a Ukrainian field is shown while a person impersonates the recognizable voice of Attenborough.
Attenborough often narrates documentaries about nature, animals and the planet. He is best known for Earth and The Life Collection.
The video personifies the Russian tank as a living creature, similar to how Attenborough would narrate information about an animal.

“Russian tanks migrate long distances from the abyss of Russia to end their lives in the beautiful fields of Ukraine,” says the narrator. “Driven by an evolutionary desire to end their lives in a better place, after reaching Ukraine, all species of Russian tanks die.
The video apparently draws inspiration from recent reports that Russian tanks often explode due to a design flaw that makes them easier to explode after a single impact.
More recently, one of the country’s most advanced tanks, the T-90M, was destroyed just days after being deployed in Ukraine. Journalist Andriy Tsapliyenko posted a photo standing next to the destroyed tank in the middle of a Ukrainian field.
This seems to have inspired the narrated video of the life and death of a Russian tank.
