Screenshots of a military simulator have leaked online, which, according to Reddit and 4chan users, is designed to train Iranian and Chinese soldiers in modern methods of warfare. The leaked screenshots show maps of occupied territories in Ukraine and the Baltic countries. One of the pictures depicts a scenario for dividing the United States into separate states: the California People's Republic, Texas, and the Central North American Republic. Scenarios for the Syrian and Sino-Taiwan conflicts also exist.
The game is supposedly being developed by Gametrek, a company with Russian roots. At the moment, almost no information about the creators and purpose of the game is publicly available. According to Tadviser, “the game is a simulator of a multipolar world, where the user, playing for one of the sides, will be able to form a new world order. The project budget exceeds 200 million rubles.”
