   neowin[.]net/news/indian-media-claims-arma-3-gameplay-footage-is-proof-that-pakistan-helped-taliban/

   ... several major media outlets in India have been running headlines about Pakistan's military allegedly attacking the resistance forces in Panjshir Valley, Afghanistan. Outlets like Republic, Times Now, and Zee Hindustan claim that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) was collaborating with the Afghanistan Taliban to crush the resistance in the country. The problem? The "concrete proof" for this claim is gameplay footage from the popular military combat video game, Arma 3.

   Personally I find this both humorous and worrying [on so many levels].

   When I first played ArmA 3 while it was still in Beta )prior to its full release eight years ago)I was really impressed by the realistic environments and the models of the NPC's. They looked almost real, as did the weapons and vehicles. The game has been massively improved since then and now looks even more amazing.

   I'm not surprised that game play footage could be mistaken for the real thing especially if the clips are short and edited professionally.

   A couple of the developers were arrested for spying at some point during development when they were doing research for the game in Greece

   Interesting!

   Your 2nd link shows 404 -- I couldn't find the page for a corrected link using Google either, so it may have been pulled down. For anyone else interested, *might* check this one out.
