Whats it this time?
The leak happened earlier this week during a forum discussion regarding the T-90M, T-80BVM, and T-90S Russian main battle tanks, all of which are currently in service and appear in War Thunder itself. The documents shared are user manuals meant for those operating said vehicles and have, like most other military documents, been declared classified or sensitive even though they contain relatively surface-level information.
Ukrainian farmer: “How do I put this hunk of junk into Neutral so I can load it onto my trailer?” *starts an argument on War Thunder forums*
For fucking once it’s not idiots leaking western stuff. I’m like halfway convinced War Thunder is a Russian intelligence operation
There have been two leaks about Chinese tanks and two about Russian jets even before this one, so while it’s mostly Western gear it’s not only that
tbf, if I ran an intel agency, after all these incidents, Id probably have someone “leak” fake classified docs on the warthunder forums or other similar places once in a blue moon, to spread misleading information to rival agencies as to the capabilities of my nation’s equipment. Both to blend in with a place idiots are known to actually post such info, and if its found out my agency was doing this, to cast doubt on the validity of any real docs from my side that were leaked before. Doesnt seem like itd cost much of anything to do, so there would have to be only minimal benefit to be marginally worth it
Not even the stupidest Take. Gijin is a Hungarian game studio and Hungarian Govt is more or less pro Russian.

It’s also one of those websites that begs you to let it send notifications the moment it loads, and has the ads that follow you and stick to your screen while you scroll.
That said though, I had no issues with Firefox on android + uBlock origin
"This marks one of three leaks that have happened in the past week, though not all of them are directly tied to War Thunder. The first related to the release of documents on the Challenger British main battle tanks on the game’s forum, though that information was confirmed to be publically [sic] available from Britain’s National Archive."
Why would you call “leak” the disclosure of publicly available information?
There are at least two court cases I know, where the accusation is of leaking sensitive government info, while the info is publicly available. One is in Russia, and it’s kind of expected, considering what a bastion of free speech it is. One is in Estonia
Must be a day ending in y.
Honestly these guys are both the smartest and stupidest folks imaginable at the same time - I’m just glad it’s the Russians they’re screwing over this time haha
Ah yes, they must be playing that other historically accurate plane combat game whose name I totally forgot because it actually doesn’t exist and War Thunder is the only option.
I think their point is that people that play “historically accurate plane combat game” 's are stupid.
You have IL-2 1943 for the plane part and Gunner Heat PC for the tank part.
There was a Ukrainian Bradley fighting vehicle gunner who took down a Russian main battle tank with the anti-personnel machine gun, and thanked his time playing war thunder for knowing where to hit it when he had no anti-armour and no armour piercing ammo
He took out its optics and turret control
I have never heard of a 20mm auto-cannon being referred to as an “anti-personnel machine gun” before
Hahaha; I love the War Thunder community.
