"British Defence Journal" said on the 16th that a gamer who claimed to be the commander of the British Army's "Challenger 2" main battle tank was dissatisfied with the module details of the tank in the famous online multiplayer battle game "War Thunder", and directly disclosed the relevant confidential documents and asked the game production company to correct it.
British Army Challenger 2 main battle tank
According to the report, the gamer posted on the official forum that the details of the "Challenger 2" tank module produced by russian game production company "Gaijin Entertainment" in "War Thunder" were incorrect. "I've said several times before that structural complexity is sometimes difficult to show in pictures." The situation with the Challenger 2' tank is that complicated, so the design error wasn't entirely Gaijin's fault either. I just want to point out what they're really wrong about. ”
To prove his point, he also published a screenshot of the British Army's Army Equipment Support Manual: Challenger 2 as evidence. The British Defence Journal said that while many unrelated parts of the document were covered up in advance and stamped with an "unclassified" stamp, the game production company said it had received written confirmation from the British Ministry of Defence that the Army Equipment Support Manual: Challenger 2 remained a confidential document and that spreading the document violated the Official Secrecy Act and could face up to 14 years in prison.
The game production company said it was making an application to the UK Ministry of Defence because "it is not the first time that something similar to the allegedly declassified documents published on official forums" has been done.
belch...... Will the West interpret it as "Russia's new trick to spy on Western military intelligence"?
Tragically, the gamer risked leaking and gambling on his military career, but nothing could change – the game production company announced that because the information came from leaked files, even with more accurate information, it would not modify the "Challenger 2" in the game...
In addition, some analysts said that the gamer claimed to be located in Tidworth in the south of england, and if he was really the commander of the "Challenger 2" tank, it was likely from the famous "Royal Tank Regiment". It is one of only three tank regiments in the British Army and the oldest tank unit in the world, founded on the battlefields of Europe during the First World War in 1917 and currently part of the British Army's 12th Armoured Infantry Brigade.
Well, although the Challenger 2 tank, which has not been upgraded for more than two decades, is not an advanced weapon, the fact that the relevant confidential documents have been made public proves that the British Army is currently in a chaotic management.
The empire that once did not set, now fell on the aircraft carrier to make a plague, and the tanks could only make people sigh because of the leak of the game.
