Again...?

Maybe... we think it's a game... but we're controlling actual soldiers and fighting the war for them.

Skeptical mode and critical thinking engaged. Not buing it. Same as Powels story about mobile gas trucks. Or Kuwaits incubator story.

"those are balls"
DoodleBobForReal
Details. I need them.

Can’t wait til they use PUBG footage...”This just in: China numba waaannnn!”
Megarith
To be fair ArmA can get real as fuck. Won't look like it, though.
Jusmar
The battle in Syria was fought entirely by guys with 12.7 LYNX and ghillie suits.
BorkLocutus
They are obviously trolling. CNN used Fallout 3 screenshots to demonstrate "Russian hackers"

For a second time, don't forget that part.

Please sir, could I have a link?

Oh shit I remember that this just proves how far video games graphic has come
Dreigiau
As a regular player of Arma - no, no it doesn't
smittywjmj
There was a short-lived series on the History Channel that used Total War gameplay. Apparently it was cheaper than doing their own CG.
bax498
Time commanders used Rome:total war back in the early 00's. it'd be a team of bank workers from Surrey vs the carpathian army.
bax498
Then they'd analyse it and see where they differed from the roman general at the time. Was a good show.
ataradov
It appeared for literally a second and of no consequence to the reporting. I'm pretty sure it is a gag by the editor.
CoconutFries
fake news
ACocoaNutLadenSwallow
Get Mueller to investigate ...
cbale2000
That looks more like ARMA2, ARMA3 has better graphics than that, unless they were running on low settings.
olympicsulfur
The Arma 3 graphics department must be stoked
TwoSeamer
As a Czech (where this company is from), I'm conflicted
MacDaddySmitt
Bohemia Interactive is not stoked....well not officially lol
Quizz25S
They should sue the russian government for copyright infringement. Wait, can you sue a foreign government?
jn2guru
Copyright law is internationally enforced, but Russia and China don't respect much of anyone else's intellectual property. Also, it's govt.
jn2guru
There's no DMCA, there's the Berne Convention but it might fall under fair use/parody even by our standards; and they can simply ignore it
aykyle
You can. Just not very effective considering they don't have to show up and you can't exactly force them to pay.
sexswingguru
many, many hand written notes of a stern nature will certainly do the trick.
Ozavic
Next they'll use SSX footage as proof of their Olympic achievements now that they have none of those either
SirSage
It's tricky
VutheCommunityVillain
And on takistan? That's not even close by.
2and900
Pretty sure this is not the first time.
Metronomicon
"Hey look they used videogame cutscene as illustration haha Murica strong"
DinoKebab
In before they use San Andreas footage to show terrible gang crime in the city.
BaggedMolk
korea (was it korea) used footage of a flight simulator to "show off" their fighters. i think
thefrayedendsofsanity
It’s like this is fake or something.
OkramTheBarbarian
Everybody does it, in a similar fashion. Cause it either Works, or Shows.
Jomini001
It's almost like the government fakes footage and reporting for a more favorable result. Almost like they do this regularly.
fakeirish
member when two of the arma III devs got arrested for spying and the gov't wanted a bribe- wouldnt be surprised to see that again on Arma IV
MEMRITV
Member that it happened in greece and has nothing to do with Russia?
ARandomHelljumper
...did he say anything about Russia in his comment?
Golfbob
No, but the post deals with Russia, as do many other comments. So many people, I’m assuming, just assumed it was about Russia.
WeenusMaGee
Greece also arrested 12 people on espionage charges for taking photos of military planes, at an airshow. 8 received 3 year sentences.
2and900
Wasn't that in Greece?

Yea sure I 'member!

Russia is such a god awful country.
SanKa13
And where are you from?
rhcpmuse911
Australia. It's not perfect but I'm pretty sure on every count it beats Russia
SanKa13
Thats true
Jusmar

CaptainBlacklung
It's government is terrible. The people, the culture, those are just fine. Glupvyy Cyka
rhcpmuse911
Maybe some people are cool but definitely not the majority because they vote for Putin. The culture is alcoholism and paranoia
CaptainBlacklung
You know all of this first hand?
CaptainBlacklung
Actually judging by your feed, you look to start crap. So I'm just not going to say anything else. Dasvidanya.
CaptainBlacklung
Before I say anything else, I must ask, have you been to Russia? Have you spent time with the people? Living in their culture?
rhcpmuse911
Also talking about their politics. Look at what they've just done in Syria today. I don't want to talk about it since I can't do it justice.
rhcpmuse911
The people were nice enough in St. Petersburg. Got abused in Russian for god knows what. Moscow they were just shockingly rude to me.
CaptainBlacklung
Well, I'm sorry they were rude. And good on you for visiting. Sorry for assuming. From the looks your an Oz? You ever find yourself in 1/2
CaptainBlacklung
the U.S.A. or Russia, we'll split a bag of Goon on me.
HeyOP
I'd rather focus on the misleading bullshit in our nation than mock the misleading/outright false bullshit in other nations.
MidlandRedux
2/2 - Also, since Imgur is an international forum, what nation are you a citizen of?
MidlandRedux
1/2 - That's very nice, and I applaud your focus, but some of us are curious about the world and want to know what is going on elsewhere.

Sup russian counter Intel account
HeyOP
You cry wolf too often you kind of out your accusations as bullshit.
FreedomWaffles
that's not how propaganda works. at least that's what my handler tells me.
awdrgh
Isn't this website Global?
HeyOP
You're on a secret intranet. Unfortunately now that you've found that out, you must be silenced.
Psythir
Yes, but the world revolves around America apparently.

HeyOP
If you can do both dependably, awesome. It doesn't seem to be the case for the majority; a bit of distraction and the old is forgotten.
MonkButtNick
Bit of distraction and the old one is forgotten is a great nursing home name.
HeyOP
If you wanna open a nursing home only to go broke. What were we talking about again?
nclu
Hey @HeyOP ! Just wanted to let you know I was way off base and unclear last time I was debating you before the thread was deleted.
crann
But! Its way more fun to say "HAHA! You're idiots!" than it is to say "Uh Oh, we're idiots."
HeyOP
It's usually still "haha, those people are idiots" even when it's national. The wonders of subgroups.
MrTay
Why it gives some appreciation for what we have and a bit of measure. Not saying things shouldn’t be better and we shouldn’t try.
HeyOP
Fair.enough point, but I think we use bullshit like this to distract ourselves from change we could be making/insisting upon.
MrTay
That’s true we do to an extent, but if you travel a lot you will also realize we bash ourselves in the media to the point we make ourselves
MrTay
Look bad and we complain and call our country shit. When in reality we are extremely fortunate and have the ability to make things better.
HeyOP
I don't disagree with your "but," except it doesn't really address anything I've said.
tehmarxman
Didn't the title say Russian government channel? Not USA?
HeyOP
What do you imagine that addresses in what I said?
fluhatinrapper
Funny thing, is that this could apply to literally any country.
HeyOP
It does. Fix your nation's shit, I'll try to fix mine.
fluhatinrapper
Any suggestions?

1) Point out obvious biases when you see them, exercize caution and a dash of reserved judgement when reading news stories as retractions
