Bit idea: Chinese intelligence agent who suffers from imposter syndrome because his colleagues keep congratulating him on uncovering classified US military documents but in reality he just checks the War Thunder forums twice a week
tfw a vidya game forum is more of a national security risk then most websites lmao
For real
I guess there's a overlap between
plays War ThunderandWilling to disseminate military secretsthat we really should be taking advantage of
critical support to war thunder nerds for being some of the largest risks to US security
Warthunder is the best citizen counterintelligence op in existence
Oops we privatized everything under the sun so now our military shit is stored on a cheaply made cloud service.
I've gotta imagine that this is intentional by now on the part of the developers of this game.
It's not difficult to stop people sharing this content, you could simply block uploads and external URLs on the forum.
They don't do this because they like that this provides publicity for their game. It is excellent marketing.
These people would just paste the part of the manual that proves their pet tank/ship/plane is the bestest ever.
Getting blackbagged for giving away state secrets any% speedrun
"Don't worry, it's completely secure, I made sure they couldn't edit it!"
The comments suggest this manual is publicly available and this is indeed not classified information. It might be ITAR restricted, but thats a long shot from classified

Okay maybe I'm too paranoid but the wording and tone of that sentence sounds way too fake oblivious and enthusiastic
I genuinely believe this is an op to trick foreign states into believing the Typhoon DA7 is worse than it actually is with the fake manual
to the posting troops
