A video of a Russian aircraft getting nailed was shared yesterday by a retired US four star general, who also served as the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under the Bill Clinton administration.
Russian attack aircraft are being lost, according to the now- deleted tweet from McCaffrey.
The incident shows how quickly misinformation can be spread online.
The users pointed out the blunder.
One user wrote that this is a video game.
The video, which has been uploaded countless times to a number of social media platforms, shows several computer generated fighter jets.
The footage was recorded in a video game.
It's not the first time altered or misleading footage has spread like wildfire, particularly when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine.
Millions of people are sharing fake videos on TikTok about the war in Ukraine. Most of the footage comes from past conflicts or shows military drills, which end up being presented to tens of millions of people as genuine and contemporary.
The spread of misleading videos on social media platforms has been a problem.
It is a parallel conflict that may not end directly in bloodshed, but could end up swaying the minds of the larger population, an important weapon in the arsenal of the US or Russia.
Musk was alarmed by the threat from the Russian space program chief.
