“Retired four star general and MSNBC contributor Brian R. McCaffrey quickly deleted a tweet on Monday after he was informed by critics that what he appeared to think was actual war footage was just a snippet from a video game.

The tweet, originally published on Monday, has been captured as a screenshot by numerous Twitter users, including National Journalism Center program director Becket Adams.

“Russian aircraft getting nailed by UKR missile defense,” McCaffrey wrote. “Russians are losing large numbers of attack aircraft. UKR defense becoming formidable.”

The tweet of a plane being shot down, however, was from the video game Arma 3. In the video’s description, it clearly says the game’s name. Arma 3 is an open-world military shooter game that launched in 2013. The original title for the short clip is “Russian MiG-29’s Get Shot Down By Air Defense System,”"
