Russian S-70 Okhotnik Makes Historic Debut and eliminated NATO ammo convoy

Have been watching YouTube videos this evening when I stumbled upon this video, supposedly of the debut of the Russian S-70 entering the conflict in Ukraine. Sometimes, I run across videos such as this that turn out to be some kind of video game or something, but this doesn't appear to be that, to me at least.

Hello, Zap! Is this real?

If it is, that damned thing is a game changer, for sure. If Ukraine can't establish some kind of aerial defense against this thing, Ukraine is in deep s##t. It located a convoy that, to me, appears to be a mechanized battalion, primarily tanks, and literally demolished the entire convoy in that one sortie. Lord help those poor Ukrainian souls, it this thing is real.

This is game or simulator footage, look at the rockets (1.11 mins), they’re not round, they show definite digital trademarks.

The S-70 isn’t a game changer. The sound effects are a nice touch though. There are currently two S-70 prototypes flying and it isn’t scheduled to be introduced until next year. There’s no reason they couldn’t use them, but they’re risking a lot if they do and lose them.

I’m not absolutely certain, but I don’t believe the S-70 has an external payload capability. All its weapons are carried internally.

It says ARMA 3 in the description, looks pretty fun.

Not saying the attack isn't real or didn't occur. It will be hard to tell, Ukraine doesn't usually release military disasters that this would be

but the video isn't and says so in the comments


there is this from Twatter

I've been burned by them too... who knows but the video was so clear is what was a red flag even before the comments

Supposedly Ukriane's intelligence headquarters was hit within the last 24 hours, one would have thought if this is true it would have been heavily guarded


, and 4 drones were shot down over Moscow with some damage to a Russian Airport

Sorry, looks far to realistic to me
If games are that good, I am a dinosaur

Be very interested in what information comes out over the next few days
Ukraine look now to be in a hopeless position
If I was zelensky, I would end the war based on that digital video

I am happy to be corrected but that looked real to me

If you want to see real war footage from Ukraine you can check out reddit:
Fair warning "it is war footage so expect to see death and destruction uncensored"

I don't do video games.

Then change the title or have a MOD delete this, FFS what a waste of time.

Maybe if you look at the footage, I suppose it was a HUD, just why is the language English not Russian?

I'm not up to date with current games or graphics but all the HUD of the alleged Russian plane being entirely in Latin-English and no Cyrillic-Russian alphabet made it obvious the YT claim was fake.

The OP was rightfully a bit wary of the footage and asking other members if it was real or not so I don't see the thread as a waste of time or needing deleting. ATS members working together to analyse and prove or debunk claims is what makes the site great.

This is someone playing a video game. Its called Arma3 says its a video game in th3 description. Just like th3 "ghost of kiev" video game heroes

ARMA gets used frequently as "real footage"

So much the Developers even adressed it on their website.
