軍隊／機動隊s 戦う／戦い through 燃やすing streets. ミサイルs take 負かす／撃墜する 闘士，戦闘機 jets. Drones pulverize 戦車／タンクs. The 劇の visuals have the trappings of real-life 戦闘, but they are clips from ビデオ games fuelling misinformation.
（映画の）フィート数 from the war-主題d Arma 3 ビデオ game, often 示すd "live" or "breaking news" to make it appear 本物の, has been used 繰り返して in 最近の months in 偽の ビデオs about the ロシアの 不快な／攻撃 in ウクライナ共和国.
The frequency and 緩和する with which gaming （映画の）フィート数 is mistaken as real, even by some マスコミ 放送者s, and 株d as authentic news on social マスコミ 最高潮の場面 what resea rchers call its serious 可能性のある to spread misinformation.
"The fact that it keeps happening is a 思い出の品 of how 平易な it is to fool people," Claire Wardle, co-director of the （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） 未来s Lab at Brown University, told AFP.
"As ビデオ game visuals get more sophisticated, CGI (computer-生成するd imagery) can, at a quick ちらりと見ること, look real. People need to know how to 立証する imagery, 含むing looking at metadata so that these mistakes don't get made, 特に by newsrooms."
Arma 3, whose Czech-based developers 約束 "true 戦闘 game play in a 大規模な 軍の sandbox," 許すs players to create さまざまな 戦場 シナリオs using 航空機, 戦車／タンクs and a host of 武器s.
Players often upload hours of gaming （映画の）フィート数 on 壇・綱領・公約s such as YouTube and 研究員s 非難する its 平易な availability for its misuse.
In the comments under one Arma 3 ビデオ 肩書を与えるd "ウクライナ共和国's counteroffensive!" -- which ふりをするd a ミサイル strike on a column of 戦車／タンクs -- a 使用者, who 明らかに took it as real, wrote: "We must ask ウクライナ共和国 after this war to train 北大西洋条約機構 軍隊s how to fight."
- 'First TikTok war' -
"While it's flattering that Arma 3 ふりをするs modern war 衝突s in such a 現実主義の way, we are certainly not pleased that it can be mistaken for real-life 戦闘 （映画の）フィート数 and used as war 宣伝," a 代表者／国会議員 of Bohemia Interactive, the game's creator, said in a 声明.
"We've been trying to fight against such content by flagging these ビデオs to 壇・綱領・公約 providers, but it's very 効果のない／無能な. With every ビデオ taken 負かす／撃墜する, ten more are uploaded each day."
In 最近の years, Arma 3 ビデオs have been used in 誤った depictions of other 衝突s, 含むing Syria, Afghanistan and パレスチナ, with the clips often debunked by 全世界の fact checkers.
That 含むs AFP, which has debunked several ビデオs using Arma 3 content, 含むing one in November that also （人命などを）奪う，主張するd to show ロシアの 戦車／タンクs 存在 struck by US-made Javelin ミサイルs. The clip had been 見解（をとる）d tens of thousands of times on social マスコミ.
Bohemia Interactive said the 誤って導くing ビデオs have recently "伸び（る）d traction" in regard to the 衝突 in ウクライナ共和国.
Dubbed by 観察者／傍聴者s as the "first TikTok war," it is a 衝突 like no other as a 安定した stream of visuals from the frontlines -- some of it 誤って導くing or 誤った -- 注ぐ の上に social マスコミ 壇・綱領・公約s.
Given the unsophisticated nature of the Arma 3 misinformation, 研究員s say it is ありそうもない to be the work of 明言する／公表する actors.
"I 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑う that the people 地位，任命するing this content are just trolls doing it to see how many people they can fool," Nick Waters, from the 数字表示式の 法廷のs 会社／堅い Bellingcat, told AFP.
"第２位 disseminators will be gullible people who 選ぶ up this content and 循環させる it in an 試みる／企てる to 獲得する 偽の internet points."
Bohemia Interactive said the 誤った ビデオs were "massively 株d" by social マスコミ 使用者s, many of whom 捜し出す what 研究員s call 約束／交戦 bait -- 注目する，もくろむ-catching 地位，任命するs that 生成する more interaction through likes, 株 and comments.
- 'Different from reality' -
The Arma 3 ビデオs, which its creator 定評のある are "やめる 有能な of spreading 偽の news," were also 株d by さまざまな mainstream マスコミ and 政府 会・原則s 世界的な, Bohemia Interactive said.
In a live broadcast in November, Romania TV wrongly 現在のd an old Arma 3 ビデオ as 戦う／戦い （映画の）フィート数 from ウクライナ共和国, and a former Romanian 弁護 大臣 and former 知能 長，指導者 申し込む／申し出d their 分析 of the foota ge as if it were real.
This occurred after another Romanian news channel, Antena 3, made the same error in February -- の中で the 専門家s 招待するd by the 放送者 to 分析する its ビデオ taken from Arma 3 was the 広報担当者 of the Romanian 弁護 省.
Bohemia Interactive has 勧めるd 使用者s to use gaming （映画の）フィート数 responsibly, 差し控える from using clickbait ビデオ 肩書を与えるs and 明確に 明言する／公表する that it was derived from a ビデオ game.
研究員s say their ビデオs are 比較して easier to debunk compared to "deepfakes" -- 捏造する，製作するd images, 音声部の and ビデオs created using 科学（工学）技術 that 専門家s 警告する is frighteningly sophisticated and 伸び（る）ing ground in the 犯罪の 暗黒街.
"If you know what you're looking for, these (Arma 3) ビデオs aren't 現実に difficult to identify as 偽のs," said Waters.
"As good as Arma 3 looks, it's still 意味ありげに different from reality."
The fact that many are unable to do so points to another stark reality in the age of misinformation.
"It shows that some people don't have the 技術s to navigate the 現在の （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） 環境," Waters said.
