This happened in the Iraq invasion too. First media reported what the US government wanted everyone to hear but over time, it becomes harder to not admit things went awry.
They also hype up the capability of things like A-10 so much that they have to atribute every single air-to-ground tank kill to A-10 during the war. It’s not until decades after the SECOND war, during the Afghan campaign, that it’s revealed how inflated those number were.
(what is it with all fascists regimes that they have tendencies to overinflate military equipments performance.)
Ah the good old “superior german steel” myth forever alive and even mutating.
