Amid ongoing escalating tensions between India & Pakistan, the official X account of the Government Of Pakistan, which has been withheld in India, has posted a video. Pakistan has shared Arma 3 Simulation video and claimed it be a "Response To India's Attack." The 30-second video, supposedly shows a fighter plane being shot down, is from a shooter stimulation video game released in 2013 named Amra 3.
The video was posted with a caption, "Information Minister Attaullah Tarz praised the Pakistan Armed Forces for their timely and nerve-wracking response to India's aggression and cowardly attack.
Fact-checker Mohammed Zubair identified the video and shared it on X, after which, netizens started expressing their views on X.
A user said, "Welp. That's the official Pakistani government account posting ARMA 3 game footage and claiming it’s real."
Another user said, "Official account of Govt of Pakistan sharing an Arma 3 Simulation game video, fooling own public."
Another user said, "ARMA 3 footage is always used in hot wars for propaganda, but usually posted by no-name groups. For the Pakistani govt to post it though... yikes."
Meanwhile, the Indian Armed Forces repelled a large-scale Pakistani drone offensive targeting military installations across the western border, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi informed during a press conference held by MEA Secretary Vikram Misri on Friday.
"On the intervening night of May 8 and May 9, Pakistani army tried to attack military installations on the western borders. From Leh to Sir Creek, Pakistani army used drones for infiltration," Colonel Qureshi stated.
The coordinated attack involved between 300 to 400 drones targeting 36 different locations along India's western frontier. She said that Pakistan used Turkish drones to attack India.
Colonel Qureshi confirmed that all Pakistani attacks were successfully neutralized by Indian defense forces.
"In response to Pakistan's attack, drones were launched against four Pakistani military installations. One of these drones was able to destroy an AD (air defence) radar. Pakistan, however, used heavy artillery and drones to conduct attacks in Jammu and Kashmir's Uri, Poonch, Rajouri, Akhnoor, etc., injuring some of the Indian soldiers," she added.
India said that while targeting military installations across the western border, Pakistan used commercial airlines as a shield as it attacked India using drones last night. Colonel Qureshi displayed pictures of commercial flights flying when the attack from the Pakistan side was ongoing.
