Video game clip goes viral as Israel’s anti-missile defence system

This video has been shared over 22,000 times with misleading captions

A viral video, showcasing gunfire in the night sky allegedly by Israel’s latest anti-missile defence system is making rounds.

The clip shows visuals of bright light against the night sky with a background noise of gunfire along with black smoke and bullets drop to the ground.

The video was posted by a Facebook page Military GUNS’ and since then has been shared 22,000 times with misleading captions.


Some suggesting the clip to be CIWS Phalanx cruise missile BGM-109 Tomahawk ARMA3 or a Russian anti-missile shooting down Israelis missiles in Syria.



However, upon investigation, it has been concluded that the video is not of gunfire rather computer-generated imagery from a gaming video.

In real-life, the trail of black smoke remains for some time before disappearing but we see the opposite happening.

The same video has been uploaded by various YouTube channels dedicated to gaming.
