This claim is false. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found that the video is not real and was shared in 2023. It was shared by an account that says it makes “Mixed reality digital aviation videos.”

The video is from a game called DCS. While the video does not state it is from DCS, multiple commentators and Check Your Fact identified it as DCS footage, which is commonly used on YouTube.
