Yes it does. Just as the TV appeared to show we landed on the moon.

You think that's a valid comparison?

Troll through the thread I linked for you and count how many "Russian aircraft shot down" stories have already been debunked.

Then ask yourself why the report you cited in your OP used weasel words as a disclaimer.

"Video appears to show Russian helicopter shot down by missile"

Then read the subtitle.

"Ukraine’s armed forces claim to have shot down a Russian military helicopter.

In a video shared by the forces on social mediaa, a chopper can be seen flying low to the ground before being struck by a missile."

Do you have proof that the Lunar landing wasn't propaganda to claim we won the Space Race against Russia? Always the skeptic :laugh:

Fact Check-Video game animation miscaptioned as if to show video of Ukrainian fighter jet shooting down a Russian plane


A clip from the videogame Digital Combat Simulator has been miscaptioned, claiming it shows a Ukrainian fighter jet shooting down a Russian plane.

Millions of people are sharing the story of a Ukrainian jet fighter that purportedly singlehandedly downed six Russian aircraft, dubbed “the Ghost of Kyiv.”

The Ukrainian military said on Feb. 24 that five Russian planes and a Russian helicopter were shot down in the Luhansk region. It has not been confirmed, however.

Fact Check-Video of aircraft firing explosives is from Arma 3 video game

A military simulation clip from video game Arma 3 is being shared online alongside misleading captions linking the footage to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The video shows a military plane firing explosive weapons onto the ground, causing small blasts, while bright red bullets which curve in the air are fired at the aircraft.

However, the clip initially appeared online as early as Jan. 6, 2022, in a missile gun simulation using Arma 3.

Fact Check-Nighttime clip of aircraft flying amid artillery fire is animation and predates Russia-Ukraine conflict


CGI footage of aircraft flying amid nighttime artillery fire is not related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The video was uploaded to YouTube in October 2021 by a 3D animator who claims to have created the footage.

The clip is not recent, however, nor is connected to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

A reverse image search shows that the video was uploaded by 3D animator with the username Borisao Blois, in October 2021. The title of the YouTube video at that time, written in Spanish, says: “Want to know what it was like to be in WWII? This is for you...”

Fact Check-Footage of downed "Russian" plane was filmed in Libya

The media are falsely linking a video of a plane being shot down in Benghazi in 2011 to Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

In one instance, the clip appears beside the caption "Russian Jet shot down by Ukrainian SAM".

However, the video has been miscaptioned and is not related to the situation in Ukraine.

It shows a fighter jet shot down by Libyan rebels in Benghazi in 2011.

The clip is contained in raw footage posted online more than a decade ago. The Associated Press uploaded the full clip to YouTube on March 19, 2011.

Fact Check-Photo of plane falling from sky is from 2015 air show

A photo of a plane plummeting from the sky followed by a trail of smoke and flames is falsely linking it to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The image, however, is unrelated to the conflict. It was taken in 2015, according to a stock image website.

One account sharing the image wrote “Ukraine military says it has shot down six fighter jets and a helicopter belonging to Russia.”

Get back to me if the latest tale from the Ukrainians is independently verified.

I take it you are lunar landing skeptic then since you haven't offered proof otherwise. It upsets me that I went to the effort to touch a moon rock at the Smithsonian . I'm sad. :sadbaby:

Reductio ad absurdum.

Your tacit agreement that I am correct to be skeptical about the OP is acknowledged.
