<p><em>Metal Gear Solid </em>creator and director Hideo Kojima has demonstrated his capabilities of creating breathtaking visuals in the upcoming <em>Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain</em>, but it seems that some of the images are so realistic that a Russian television network, <em>RT</em> (previously known as<em> Russia Today</em>), used one of them during a broadcast.</p>
<p>Sophie Shevardnadze led a special news report on child soldiers for <em>RT</em>, which included a discussion with a former child soldier and now hip-hop artist, Emmanuel Jal. However, during the broadcast a panning shot towards Sophie featured an image of the child soldiers from <em>The Phantom Pain</em>&#8216;s E3 2013 trailer on a television monitor.</p>
<p>Check out the video below at the five minute mark for a screenshot of the child soldiers from <em>Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain</em>.</p>
