Pro-Russia separatists use fake Battlefield 3

Recommended Posts

A video from Ukrainian pro-Russian separatists, claiming the discovery of US army Stinger missiles in a

Ukrainian military airport in Lugansk, has been declared a fake as it contained spelling mistakes and a

typo similar to the one from popular video game Battlefield 3.

The footage shows the rebels storming an underground compound and dusting off a wooden case with a

"US army" inscription, where a the MANPADS Stinger 92 surface-to-air missile is stored.

However, bloggers were quick to notice a typo on the wooden box, which carries the word "Re usable",

not hyphenated, unlike the real one which is hyphenated. There is also a misspelling of the word "loaded".

But the most significant mistake is found in the inscription on the Stinger weapon itself, which reads

"tracking rainer" instead of "tracking trainer".

Video games blogger Anton Logvinov noted on his website that the same typo occurs in the EA first-person

shooter game Battlefield 3, leading him to believe that the Stinger 'discovered' in Lugansk is likely fake.
