Err... I don't ever watch ads, so forgive my question:

Is that a real ad?

No, it was a joke made by the guys from Top Gear.

It's a fake ad created as a joke in Top Gear by Jeremy Clarkson

The distance between Berlin and Warsaw is 570 km or 360 miles. It's not much of a brag in the first place.

I would suspect no one is actually this tone deaf, in which case this is a funny joke. Then again, I did recently speak with a zoomer who wasn't familiar with what 9/11 referred to, if they are representative of their generation the idea of a tank to warsaw from berlin might not bring about imagery of Nazi occupations of Poland.

Indeed. I wouldn't be suprised by anything anymore, hence my curiosity.
