Since 13 June, the mediate East has been at war between Israel and Iran. After the judaic state carried out a series of effective attacks, the Ayatollah government began responding with rocket attacks. Computer games have become 1 of the propaganda tools in this conflict. The Iranian military utilized shots from the Arma 3 and the Russian War Thunder game to present fabricated shooting down Israeli aircraft.

The posts besides frequently claimed that the pilot was taken prisoner. Israel's defence Force (IDF) officials had to officially disprove these reports.
No Israeli aircraft has been shot down. The video's fake.
said 1 of the military in an interview with The Jerusalem Post.The Israeli army added that all fighters active in the operation on that day “safely landed in the base”. Meanwhile, IRGC utilized another game — the Russian War Thunder for propaganda. Second clip allegedly shows "a minute of interception and demolition of an advanced Israeli F-35 fighter fighter by defence systems of the muslim Army of the Republic of Iran".
