Generate 120 words Introduction Paragraph :
War Thunder a player posts military secrets on official forums to win an argument about an F-16 fighter jet.
The branch originally started last July as a place to share facts, figures and the history of the F-16 Fighting Falcon, which was eventually added to War Thunder during the Apex Predators update in December.
However, as the discussion progressed, one user wrote: “Interesting thing I found during my research. During the early AMRAAM testing, you can see how the F-16A will be equipped with the AIM-120 and use it [Tracking during Scanning] on [non-functional displays] on the “SCP” store control panel. In support of his findings, racenavy90 attached four documents from the F-16 flight manual that were found to contain limited government information.
Although each document was not classified, they contained information obtained from documents subject to export controls or documents marked for use only by the US government, which is still a federal crime.

“Penalty for an unauthorized disclosure conviction includes up to 10 years in prison, a large fine, or both,” one user wrote. “Maybe just a fine if it’s not a public servant and they don’t have big fish.”
“Unauthorized transfer of limited data is nothing to joke about. When we post data without proper verification, not only is the poster at risk, but [the game publisher himself].
There are now 12 cases of classified documents published in War Thunder since 2019. https://t.co/uEjmqV9CaV

The documents were quickly deleted by moderators, and a statement was released (via PC Gamer by the creators of the War Thunder Gaijin Entertainment). not intended for sharing or use by unauthorized persons. We always remove messages containing classified or restricted information from our forum as soon as possible. We prohibit our users from sharing such documents on our platforms. We remind our users again and again that this is illegal and pointless, so they should never do this. We never use such documents in our work.
“So we deleted the messages. The documents themselves were actually posted via links to a third-party Discord server, so they were never uploaded to our own servers. In any case, we have made sure that these links are not accessible to our forum visitors or our employees.
At war thunder players battle each other on a variety of historical and modern combat vehicles. It has also inadvertently become a source of much controversy as gamers take to forums to use real-world documents in an attempt to convince the developers to change certain vehicles or weapons.
Back in 2021, the State Secrets Act (in force in more than 40 countries) was breached when a player wanted the Challenger 2 tank to be more accurate, and later that year a player claiming to be a tank driver part of the secret user manual for the Leclerc main battle tank was leaked to the French army.
Last year, someone posing as a main battle tank crew member took to the official War Thunder forum and shared classified military documents about the rounds fired by the Chinese tank, along with an image of the round in question.
“Posting classified information about any country’s technology on the War Thunder forums is strictly prohibited, and game developers never use it in their work,” Gaijin said.
In other news – the French union Solidaires Informatique called on Ubisoft Paris workers to strike after the company presented them with a “disturbing” strategic update.
