To verify the authenticity of the viral video, we extracted a key frame and conducted a reverse image search using Google Lens.

Conclusion
The research established that the viral video of CDS Raja Subramani has been manipulated using AI-generated content.

The digitally altered video is being shared with a false claim.
Executive Summary:
Amid the ongoing war involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, a video clip circulating on social media claims to show Iran unveiling a drone resembling the US B-2 stealth bomber. In the viral clip, an aircraft-like object can be seen emerging from a cave before taking off. Several users are sharing the video with the claim that Iran has deployed a B-2-style drone in the conflict.
However, research by the CyberPeace found that the viral video is not real and was generated using artificial intelligence. While the United States has reportedly used B-2 stealth bombers in strikes against Iran during the conflict, the viral clip does not show an actual Iranian drone.
Claim
X user “Muslim_Voice_Space” posted the video on March 3, 2026, claiming that Iran had rolled out a drone resembling the B-2 bomber for use in the war.
Fact Check
To verify the claim, we first closely examined the viral video. In the opening moments of the clip, the wing of the alleged drone appears to hit the side of the cave while exiting. Despite the apparent collision, the aircraft continues flying smoothly without any visible damage. This unusual detail raised doubts about the authenticity of the footage.
We then analyzed the video using the AI detection tool Hive Moderation, which flagged the clip as likely AI-generated.
Further analysis using the Sightengine AI detection tool also suggested that the video was artificially created. The tool estimated a 75% probability that the footage was generated using AI. It also indicated a 70% likelihood that the clip may have been created using Sora, an AI video-generation tool.
Conclusion
The viral video claiming to show an Iranian drone resembling the US B-2 stealth bomber emerging from a cave is not authentic. Analysis indicates that the clip was created using AI tools and is being misleadingly shared in the context of the ongoing conflict.
Executive Summary
A video of a young woman without arms performing gymnastics has been widely shared on social media. In the video, the woman can be seen without both arms, yet she performs several difficult gymnastics moves with remarkable ease and confidence. Her impressive physical balance and practice have left viewers amazed. Users sharing the video are praising not only her talent but also her courage, confidence and determination. Many users are also describing it as an inspiring example of overcoming challenges and pursuing one's dreams with unwavering spirit.
However, a probe by the Research Wing of CyberPeace found that the video being shared on social media is not genuine but was generated using Artificial Intelligence (AI). The video shows the young woman performing difficult gymnastics moves with apparent ease, but a technical analysis revealed signs of AI-generated content. Therefore, sharing the video as a real incident or as the performance of an actual gymnast is misleading.

Fact Check
During our research of the viral video, we first conducted a reverse image search of its different keyframes. We also searched Google using relevant keywords. However, we could not find the viral video in any credible media report.
During the reverse search, we found the same viral video on the Instagram account @arenaathletics1, where it was posted on September 13. The post also carries an “AI-generated content” label. The video has garnered more than 20 million views. Several users in the comment section have also identified the video as AI-generated.
We then checked the viral video using the AI detection tool Hive Detect. In its analysis, the tool identified the video as likely AI-generated, assigning it a 93.1 percent score for AI-generated content.
Additionally, six detectors on Deepfake-O-Meter identified the viral video as AI-generated with a high probability.
Conclusion
Our research found sufficient evidence to establish that the viral video showing a young woman without arms performing gymnastics is not genuine. The video was found on an Instagram account carrying an “AI-generated content” label, while analysis using AI detection tools, including Hive Detect and Deepfake-O-Meter, also indicated a high likelihood of AI-generated content. Therefore, the video is AI-generated and is being misleadingly shared as a real-life performance, rather than an authentic video of a gymnast.
