Eurofighter Typhoon shenanigans
I always wonder if those leaks lead to wikipedia improvements on the given topics somewhere down the line
Wiki requires citation. It’s pretty easy for a government to have someone go in there and revert it for being uncited.
At what point is information considered public, once it is public or once its declassified?
According to the government, once it’s declassified.
Once it’s been declassified. Executive Order 13526 specifies the necessary procedures. Among other things, it states that the original classification authority must set an expiration date, after which the information should be declassified.
If an earlier date isn’t set, documents will be automatically slated for declassification after 10 years, or a maximum of 25 years(at the discretion of the classifying authority), barring certain exceptions.
That’s the american governments rules yes? I’d imagine its not too different for the Italian government.
When are we getting them alien tech?
Somebody please leak them.
I don’t think they let the fresh-out-of-ROTC war thunder-obsessed lieutenants have access to Area 51 lol
Someone comes along with a “You primitive earthlings! The ØXÇ-57 Plasma Cannon has a much faster cool down. [Link to schematics]”
ØXÇ-57 Plasma Cannon
probably the most compelling evidence that aliens have not visited Earth, if they did then technical documentation would have been leaked on warthunder forums.
Can we get an alien-themed DLC or something just to make sure?
No point in leaking that data if you can’t go “look, that alien ship is wrong. Here is the technical doc to prove it”
War thunder UAP expansion when?
They’re all UAPs if you don’t know what they are!
“Good thing I’m not a real pilot. My eyesight sucks.”
someone posting the tic-tac specs to win a shitpost argument would epic
When you literally add “if you commit real life treason, we will ban you from our videogame forums” and it still doesn’t work.
I met a Eurofighter Typhoon pilot once. Having made the Airfix model as a child, I was suitably impressed.
What’s the current record for days since leak?
Seventeen
For real?
I know nothing of this game, except I’ve heard at least three instances where this happened and it always makes me chuckle.
There were at least 14 according to Wikipedia.
For real?
… Checks community name … Yeah, I’ll buy it.
Geez, again?!
No force is stronger than the autistic urge to correct something that is wrong in the special area of interest.
This is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.
actually Cunningham’s Law
Somebody took the bait :)
aa i didn’t see that lol
Hahaha this made me love Lemmy
Nice try
It worked! https://lemm.ee/comment/16869673
Damn straight…
AGAIN?
It’s practically a weekly occurrence at this point.
Surely we can do better. Daily?
Made me chortle
Even a friend of mine has contributed to these occurrences, he leaked literally all the specs of a US fighter jet because someone got a minor detail wrong.
Although, he is also autistic and really interested in weaponry so it’s not surprising lol.
If I had a nickel every time someone posted classified documents in the WarThunder forums I would have
23Enough.
And yet in that same timeline Okami 2 has been announced 18 years after the release of the first game so as long France postpone its warning shot until the game release and I can finish it, I’m ok with that ^^
This just officially became the best Friday ever.
Is Okami that PS2 game with the white dog?
yes and it’s one of the best game ever. It has since been rereleased as “Okami HD” on modern platform and the sales on this remake must have been really good since Capcom has greelight the recreation of a whole game studio “Clover”, rehiring the old Okami Game Director and one of the japanese gamedev legend Hideki Kamiya to make the sequel
Oh shit, Okami 2 is finally happening‽
Can we get an rerelease of Okamiden to go alongside, please? Have all 3 in one place?
nope, no okamiden since Kamiya is returning as Game Director and he consider Okamiden as a Capcom treason. Okami 2 is officially the direct sequel to Okami replacing Okamiden in the timeline
technically this one wasn’t actually classified, it’s just “NATO restricted” so if you live in a NATO country (or even some allied countries iirc) you can access it freely as if it was declassified, you just can’t send it to China or Russia.
Like you can just freely Google that manual or purchase a physical copy without any sort of checks.
That isn’t what NATO Restricted means, at least not in the US—I’m not going to attempt to delve into Hungarian law. It falls under the category of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) established by Executive Order 13556, and codified in DoD Instruction 5200.48
This information is not freely available to the public, and must be cleared for release according to the procedures detailed in the aforementioned documents, which specify that it should only be disseminated for official government purposes.
Controlled Unclassified Information
Yeah, so it’s not classified.
You literally know nothing John snow, and your ignorance is apparent to anyone with even passing experience in this space. I know this because I only have passing experience in this space related to dumbass cyber security rules.
I really don’t get why everyone is taking my comment extremely seriously.
Oh I don’t anymore, I just wrote this before I caught up on you being a waste.
Unclassified is still a classification level and doesn’t imply that it is meant for broader dissemination; CUI would need approval to be shared. People like you are why everyone has to suffer through annual training every year.
I feel like you’re taking this a bit too seriously.
People like you are why everyone has to suffer through annual training every year.
This hit me hard and now I’m angry. But it explains why I have to speed run sexual harassment and security training every year even though it seems like a capybara would know better than to do the things being warned against.
Lol no
That’s literally what classified means, that it has a classification. That classification is Restricted.
As the other reply mentioned, it’s “Controlled Unclassified Information” so it’s in the name, unclassified.
That’s not what that means. You’ve been told what it means.
Yes, and, like my first comment t said, it’s technically not classified.
You’re still wrong and at this point, getting fucking annoying
Sure, whatever, if it means that much to you.
…technically, it’s not not classified, it’s unclassified…
…does unclassified require something to have first been classified?..semantically, certainly, but technically i have no idea…
Troll
I wonder if War Thunder forums will be one of the things Russia will keep allowing connections to (they’re planning to get off the wider 'net), since it’s such a treasure trove for classified info on other countries’ arsenals.
Simply put: no. It doesn’t make any sense.
Russia as a whole will not be cut from the internet. North Korea isn’t cut from the internet. The public is. And the public does not need this information
Disconnecting the country from it doesn’t mean their government won’t have access…
NATO restricted means everyone can have it, it’s just that you need to actively search for it. this is not classified and can literally be found with just a Google search
this is not classified
False, it is classified as NATO Restricted. Although NR is the lowest classification, it is not unclassified. Stop spreading misinformation. We have layers of classifications for a reason. Y’all act like everything is either Top Secret or Unclassified with no in-between.
yes, its restricted, but everyone can have access to it by actively searching for it. literally just a Google search and you can find it. I wouldn’t really call it a ‘hyper illegal classified document’ like one that NATO actually tries to prevent people from having
Go ahead and post the contents online. Good luck
google ‘da7 flight manual’ and click on the first link
Your ability to find content does not stop it from being illegal to share nor stop it from being classified.
Rule 7
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.I’m not debating this with you, goodbye 👋
Disagreeing with the moderators is also against the rules.
At least they admit it.
Yeah, thats crazy to me.
They didn’t say disagreeing with moderators, they said disagreeing with moderation.
I read that as: You can disagree with how a mod applies the rules and challenge that. You can’t disagree with the rules themselves, the rules are the rules, take it or leave it.
And personally I think complying with NATO export restrictions seems like a good rule.
But I want to win an Internet argument!
No you don’t.
Yes I do!
I’m pretty sure the other dude knows you better than you do
I’m pretty sure that other dude knows shit!
Like, you know, from the ass!
Opsec? What’s that?
All of this has happened before, and it will happen again.
What’s next in the rotation? Helicopters?
Tanks are on track.
Naval is on the horizon.
Planes will go around again.
Firearms will get a shot after that.
Missile launchers would be a blast
Toss-up between grenades & drones next
So say we all!
