This is unbelievable.
Make sure you watch the entire clip.
This is straight out a video game, specifically Call Of Duty or the Battlefield series.
I don't know what Russia is doing but this is walking into a buzzsaw blindfolded.

(90,225 posts)... calling bullshit on Putrids war and around 55% rallying around Russian flag and eating what the Russia MoD are saying and the rest don't give a damn.
They will in around 5 more weeks, the Russia economy is got to START to show the depth of isolation RU has in the world.
Russia's economy will be near NK status in less than a year

That account though is now suddenly suspended which makes me think it very well may be legit considering how fast action was taken against it. This has me thinking it got a DMCA Takedown for © from the original owner of the video.

(3,234 posts)That seems rather strange that suddenly that account is suspended on Twitter just after I posted this.

Edit: Ok, I can't independently verify if the video is real or from a computer game. I'll leave the link and let folks decide for themselves. But it's the Internet, so don't necessarily take everything at face value.

(663 posts)It's footage from a video game - look closely at the explosions and it becomes obvious. There's several of these floating around and sometimes it's difficult to figure it out.
Edit: Apparently it's from the game Arma3.
