CLAIM
A video on Instagram posted by indian_defence_forces_ shows a novel version of the viral bottle cap challenge using a tank.
The challenge which has taken the internet by the storm includes opening a bottle cap with usually a kick by the participant.
The post along with the video, which was posted on 20 July, said, "Tank bottle cap challenge😍😍jaihind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳. Please follow:@indian_defence_forces__ & Turn on post notification"
It also used hashtags "#india #indian #indianarmy #IndianNavy #indianairforce #aif #hal #army #armylife #love #raw #navy #specialforces #armystrong #armypower #world #top #motivational #specialday #taraning #awsome #best #ncc #itbp #bsf #indianmovies"
Although the post did not explicitly claim that the video is of Indian security forces, because of the tank and hashtags users assumed it was done by the Indian army and praised the forces in the comment section.
The post was picked by some websites as well. A Hindi website called LiveHindustan.com carried the video post with a headline "Soldiers completed the Bottle Cap Challenge with Tank".
A Facebook page called Special Forces of India also posted the same video with the caption "#Bottlecapchallenge Armoured Corp Style".
Another Facebook page called Indian Media Brats shared the video with "Bottle cap challenge. This is how we do it in the army."
FACT
The tank bottle cap challenge in the viral video is not by Indian security forces. The video is originally from Ukraine.
A simple reverse search image of the video will eventually lead one to a Ukraine news website called Obozrevatel.
According to a report on the website, the Ukrainian Armed Forces “invented a new alternative to the Bottle Cap Challenge”. It also showed two other similar videos.
The video was posted by an Instagram user on 17 July.
