  • A video shared on Facebook allegedly shows three Russian battleships under attack by Ukrainian artillery. Verdict: False The video is not genuine footage of Russian battleships under artillery attack. The footage is from ARMA 3, a military-style video game. Fact Check: The Ukrainian military claims to have destroyed 15 Russian ships since the Russian invasion began in February, according to Ukrainska Pravda . Russia lost the Black Sea Fleet’s flagship, the guided missile cruiser Moskva, to Ukrainian anti-ship missiles in April, NBC News reported . The Facebook video, viewed more than 12,000 times, shows artillery pummeling Russian ships. The Facebook video is captioned, Ukraine Artillery Units Destroyed 4 Russian Heavy Battleships. (RELATED: Does This Video Show A Ukrainian Person Smoking A Cigarette In Body Bag?) The video does not show genuine footage of Russian battleships being sunk. The footage actually shows gameplay from ARMA 3 , a simulation-based video game published by Bohemia Interactive . The video first appeared on YouTube June 29 with the title, Ukraine Artillery Units Destroyed 3 Russian Heavy Battleships | Milsim ArmA 3 S9. The video description partially reads, This video is a simulation created by ARMA3. The Facebook post does not feature such a disclaimer for the video. The user, RTS Battle Zone , has also posted other ARMA 3 videos based on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. This is not the first time videos from Arma 3 have been misleadingly used to portray the conflict in Ukraine. Check Your Fact previously debunked a video in September claiming to show a Russian military base under attack from a Ukrainian drone. (en)
