NATO announced that a recent exercise held near the Italian town of Vivaro was a success, resulting in the complete destruction of a chicken coop by Italian forces.

The chicken coop, which had been specially populated with Russian chickens, was totally destroyed by a single shell from an Italian tank. This precision shelling proves that NATO can fire on a populated area and only kill chickens.

A NATO spokesperson told FNN:

There were feathers everywhere, together with tasty chicken parts that were cooked in the explosion. Now we know that whenever we are called upon, we can destroy any chicken coop, anywhere.

A spokesperson for Russian President Vladimir Putin commented:

Let them bark...or should I say cluck.
