Arma III is one of the most powerful military simulation games in the history of the gaming industry, and recently some media have begun using some in-game clips to falsify facts, perhaps knowingly or unknowingly, but what matters is that we don't want you to fall into the trap and believe these clips.
When did Arma III start being used to falsify sections?
It is not new, not exclusive to the ongoing War of Russia and Ukraine, but the same thing happened when the Indian media agency Republic published a video of the game claiming it was an "exclusive video" of Pakistan's strike on Afghanistan, fuelling the crisis that already exists between the Indian and Pakistani peoples.
Hello @republic, The 'exclusive video' that your team has accessed of Airstrikes at #PanjshirValley is actually from a video game "Arma-3". 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️ pic.twitter.com/TG7dJmvsQ9

It continued in many burning parts of the world until it reached the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, after Russia invaded Ukraine a few days ago, and with few live scenes filmed from the scene, the space used by the weak to falsify the facts, and the publication of clips of Arma III as a fact.
A video recently posted on Facebook, which I personally believed, under the title "Russian pilot brilliantly flees Ukrainian air defense. Bloomberg and Kotaku discover that the section of Arma III, which has been released for 8 years, has been on the market.
Arma III doesn't have revolutionary graphics, yes at the time it was a great reality, but as a Facebook user, you're always receptive to the idea that videos are of normal or low quality, so we don't check what's being shown too much.
This incident shows us that the realism of video games can become a double-edged sword, and that the media doesn't investigate the facts as we imagine, so don't believe everything you see in your eye!
