Eurofighter: Gamer leaked classified information about the aircraft’s radar on a War Thunder forum

Once again, the popular video game War Thunder is at the center of attention, as classified military information about the Eurofighter Typhoon was leaked on its forums. This marks at least the fourth time that sensitive data about this particular fighter aircraft has been published by game users, with authorities expressing concerns about the potential consequences of these disclosures.

The most recent leak involved details about the advanced radar system of the Eurofighter, a fighter jet used by countries such as the UK, Germany, Italy, and Spain. The value of the aircraft is estimated at $124 million, and it is a critical component of NATO‘s military arsenal. As reported by Gaijin Entertainment, this information is classified, and its release is strictly prohibited. The user who uploaded the data was immediately banned from the forums.

The incident is not isolated, as similar leaks occurred in 2022 when sensitive data about weapons and fighters were also published. These actions raise questions about security and the impact on the military systems of the countries using these weapons.

Experts point out that while such leaks may seem “harmless” from the perspective of the users, they can have serious consequences. Some argue that these leaks could undermine the security of the weapon systems and affect operational effectiveness. The UK Defense Journal emphasized that such revelations “fuel distrust and suspicion,” while others believe the impact depends on the type and accuracy of the data.

Gaijin Entertainment issued a new statement, urging the community to avoid such actions. “Do not upload classified information to our forums. We will not use such data, and it can only cause harm,” a company representative stated. At the same time, the company stressed that such actions could damage the future development of the game.

War Thunder, as a game that places a strong emphasis on realistic depictions of military vehicles, has attracted enthusiasts of military technology. However, the recurring leaks cast doubt on the responsibility and ethics of users seeking to showcase their knowledge of these systems.
