A decorated retired Army General and MSNBC contributor unknowingly shared footage of a video game and claimed it was a Russian plane being shot down by Ukraine before quickly deleting the Tweet when he was corrected.
Four-star general Barry R. McCaffrey's gaffe did not go unnoticed, with some pointing out at the mistake by the former Clinton advisor.
'Russian aircraft getting nailed by UKR missile defense. Russians are losing large numbers of attack aircraft. UKR air defense becoming formidable,' McCaffrey wrote in a now-deleted Tweet.
The animation shared by McCaffrey was actually from Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) footage from the video game 'Arma 3.'
