Watch: TV channel uses video game clips to claim Pakistan army’s support for Taliban in Panjshir
Republic TV aired ‘exclusive footage’ from ‘Hasti TV’. It was actually from the video game Arma 3. They later issued a clarification and withdrew the video.

See I always knew the A-10 warthog was much better in desert military simulations. Thank you @republic for making sure that Arma 3 has prominence apart from @Steam.#GreatestMilitarySimulator #LordGaben https://t.co/FZ85xRCEMz
