In the context of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine crisis, a video is being shared on social media with a claim that it shows ‘Russia Vs Ukraine MiG-29 vs C- Ram Fight’. Let’s fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: Video of a fight between the forces of Russia and Ukraine (MiG-29 vs C-RAM).
Fact: The video shows a clip from the ‘ARMA – 3’ game. The posted video has nothing to do with the ongoing crisis between Russia and Ukraine. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
When we searched about the video on the internet with some keywords, the same video was found to be streamed by ‘Warpig Gaming’, a Facebook page that streams gaming videos. As the video went viral with a similar claim, the video creator wrote in the comments that it is from a game called – ‘Arma 3’.
Many similar videos from the ‘Arma 3’ game can be watched here and here. When similar videos from the ‘Arma 3’ game were shared with other false claims previously, FACTLY has debunked them. Those fact-check articles can be read here and here.
To sum it up, the posted video shows a clip from the ‘Arma 3’ game. It is being falsely shared as visuals of ‘Russia Vs Ukraine MiG-29 vs C- Ram Fight’.
