Classified documents regarding the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet radar systems have surfaced on the online combat game War Thunder. This incident is part of a recurring pattern where sensitive military information appears on platforms like War Thunder and Discord. The Eurofighter Typhoon, known for its advanced capabilities and high cost, has been the subject of multiple leaks.
War Thunder, developed by Gaijin Entertainment in 2012, is popular among aviation enthusiasts for its realistic depiction of military aircraft. However, debates over aircraft performance often lead to the sharing of classified information. In August 2023, a user leaked a flight manual containing detailed data about the Eurofighter's systems to advocate for its inclusion in the game. "This is a 730-page manual for the DA7 that contains EVERYTHING on all the systems, weaponry, flight data, etc. I hope this data will help the devs to add this magnificent jet faster and make it as accurate as possible! Can’t wait to fly it in the game," stated the user.
Another leak involved technical documentation on the supercruise capability of Italy's Eurofighter variant. A forum moderator confirmed with Italian authorities that these documents were illegally available: "We have directly confirmed with the Italian MOD these are available illegally"...."You cannot use these documents for reporting and you cannot post them."
