Fact Check: Terrifying video of army convoy exploding is not from Russia-Ukraine war, its computer-generated

India Today  

As the Russia-Ukraine war rages on, terrifying and awe-inspiring photos and videos of the combat have become commonplace. One such video, that has been shared by many on social media, shows an armoured vehicle firing at a moving convoy and causing what appears to be very heavy damage. Those sharing the video on Twitter and Facebook called it an “unbelievable scene from Ukraine,” commenting on Russia’s supposed power to cause mass destruction. We searched for Osadchy’s Facebook page and found that he had shared screenshots of the video on June 30 and wrote in Russian, “Unfortunately, my unfinished video with Banderamobil went online ahead of time.” He wrote that he had originally intended to raise money for the Ukrainian armed forces with this video. Ever since his video got leaked online, he has time and again appealed to people onandto give him credit for it.
