Indian media is truly one of a kind and this time we have a new entrant to news-comedy circus.
Competing for a spot at primetime TV’s newest low is the Telegu news channel TV-9. In a video that can best be described as …bizarre? a military tanker protrudes from the screen and blows up the anchor mid monologue. While the presenter was attempting to cover the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the graphics team couldn’t hold in their tricks any longer.
Watch the video here:

The video was shared on Twitter by Sonam Mahajan to her 450k+ followers and has since gone viral.
It seems that some Twitterati echo our sentiments:

So to shut a noisy Indian TV reporter up, one has to get a tank! https://t.co/C7Zy9BPz10

An Indian tank just shot down an Indian journalist.

We can only hope news channels start paying their graphic interns to avoid such beautiful disasters. Or not – this shit is funny.
