gets ambushed on the highway. In the 2011 video game Battlefield 3 "Thunder Run" mission, the player travels along a similar highway and is attacked by car bombs. In the 2019 video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a similarly bombarded road in the fictional middle-eastern country of Urzikstan is named the Highway of Death. In this instance the attack is carried out by Russian forces, which led to accusations against the game of historical revisionism. However, in the game, the targets were civilian, whereas the original event which inspired this game level was largely the Iraqi military being targeted during their withdrawal from Kuwait.
