Even Arma 3 gets into the act:
06/05/25. Note from the channel "Propagandist's Notebook":

"The enemy continues to spread fakes about the attack on airfields. This video, made on the engine of the computer game Arma3, is being distributed in Western social networks.

The goal is to make the average person believe in the thesis about the destruction of exactly 40 aircraft."
