In early 2023, secret information about the American F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet appeared on the War Thunder game forums. Now it’s the turn of the European fighter plane.
what is known
The player really wanted to add the fourth generation fighter plane, the Eurofighter Typhoon, to the game. More specifically, he wanted to see the DA7 aircraft used in the development of the Typhoon on the War Thunder virtual battlefields.
To convince the developers to add the fighter jet, the user posted photos, videos and documents. Among the latter was a 730-page NATO document. It contained secret information about the Eurofighter Typhoon DA7.
The distribution of the document, which belongs to the class of unclassified NATO documents, is permitted only for official purposes. How exactly it got to a normal gamer is not specified at the moment. Needless to say, the classified file was deleted by the moderators.
Similar situations arise on the War Thunder forums from time to time. In addition to the Eurofighter Typhoon DA7 and the aforementioned F/A-18 Hornet, players have also posted secret information about the Leclerc and Challenger 2 tanks, as well as guides to the F-16 fighter.
