The fact that this keeps happening is just so hilarious.
It’s really just mind boggling how many people have access to such critical data, play this one somewhat niche game, and are stupid enough to upload their work documents… like the Venn diagram of humanity covering players of war thunder and weapons company workers is already small, then add in reckless/dumb and it’s so small. But this has happened over half a dozen times now
I don’t think the Venn diagram of War Thunder players and aerospace engineers (or whatever) is small at all. I mean, you can’t help what you’re into, and if you chose to study and/or work with planes, you probably like planes. Enough to play a video game about them. 3 out of the 7 aerospace engineers I know play War Thunder, which is not insignificant. (And 2 of those play KSP.) I mean, why do you think so many engineers in general play Factorio?
Now, within the group of War Thunder && Aerospace Engineers, there are obviously a few morons, as with any group. Enough to risk their jobs, yes, is surprising.
I think it’s higher than a half dozen. I’m looking for the article I read yesterday, but I do know it was 7 leaks in like February this year.
Edit: There’s been 12 total, the latest being this week, and the one before being end of August.

If you scroll down to the leaks section it lists them all out.There are at least a dozen now according to wikipedia.
Yeah, I found the article, and edited my comment with the link to the article and the wiki.
It’s just mind boggling that these people have access to this information at all. Kinda feel like having a war thunder account should bar you from access to classified information at this point.
game works a certain way
user dies to different hardware
“My war machines are superior and the reason I lost is due to the game developers. See!”
uploads documents
Didn’t expect to see a T-Doll from Girls Frontline posting classified leaks of Military hardware recently
Out of anyone, MDR would be the one to post classified Intel to win an online argument.
