In early 2023, secret information about the American F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet appeared on the War Thunder game forum. Now it's the turn of the European warplane.

Here's What We Know

The gamer diligently sought to add the fourth-generation Eurofighter Typhoon fighter to the game. To be more precise, he wanted to see on the virtual battlefields of War Thunder the DA7 aircraft, which was used in the development of Typhoon.

In an attempt to convince developers to add the fighter jet, the user posted photos, videos and documents. Among the latter was a 730-page NATO document. It contained classified information about the Eurofighter Typhoon DA7.

Distribution of the document, which belongs to the NATO Unclassified class, is authorised for official purposes only. How exactly it got to an ordinary gamer, at the moment it is not specified. Needless to say, the classified file was deleted by moderators.

From time to time similar situations arise on the War Thunder forum. In addition to the Eurofighter Typhoon DA7 and the aforementioned F/A-18 Hornet, gamers have posted secret information about the Leclerc and Challenger 2 tanks along with guides on piloting the F-16 fighter.
