Classified military documents have been leaked once again on the War Thunder forum. This new one comes less than two weeks after the last leak. On top of that, the documents that were leaked a few days ago are reportedly the ones that got leaked again. So, this is the 16th classified document leak in total and the third this year. Just like the other times, the forum moderators were quick in taking the post down.

This article will talk about the latest classified military documents leak in the War Thunder forum.

On December 21, a forum user posted documents related to the Eurofighter Typhoon. According to the forum discussions, it was supposedly a manual for this multi-role aircraft and is the same one that was leaked last time.

During the last leak, it was mentioned that the documents contained information on the supercruise capabilities of the Eurofighter. Although we do not know who the leaker was, it was said that he had been suspended.

When the previous leak occurred, Gaijin Entertainment confirmed with the Italian Ministry of Defense that the documents were illegal. Smin1080p_WT, a prominent Community Manager in the War Thunder forum even reminded users not to post such documents.

"I will take this opportunity to again remind everyone here, please do not, under any circumstances try to post, use or share any sources unless you are 100% certain they are legally declassified and publicly safe for use"..."We will never handle or use them and all it does is actively harm any possible future changes being possible by trying to use them. Do not do it. No good will never come from it for you or the vehicle you are trying to post it for"..."All that will happen is you will be banned and face any potential further consequences for your actions."

Unfortunately, the advent of modern vehicles in the game means that these leaks may grow in number as more vehicles get introduced. As Smin mentioned, all it does is make it harder for the game developers to introduce new changes to the vehicle. It can also put legal pressure on Gaijin, making it harder for them to develop the game further.
