Game player leaks confidential information about Typhoon fighter jet

2025-01-03

According to a recent report on the website of the bimonthly magazine "National Interest" in the United States, gamers spend a lot of time "playing games" during holidays. However, in recent years, some hardcore video game enthusiasts have also been too hasty in leaking military secrets. Just before the Christmas holiday, someone shared military secrets related to the European fighter jet "Typhoon" on the forum of the popular free game "War Thunder". Like previous incidents, this file leak occurred after multiple gamers questioned the accuracy of key systems and digital representations in the game "War Thunder". The leaked secrets involve the European fighter jet Typhoon, which is currently in service with the British, German, Italian, and Spanish air forces as a fourth and a half generation multi-purpose fighter jet. Game publishers and Hungary based "outsider" entertainment companies have repeatedly requested game fans not to disclose military secrets on forums. The company stated in a statement: "(We) take this opportunity to remind everyone again not to attempt to publish or share any technical materials under any circumstances unless you are 100% certain that these materials have been legally decrypted and can be publicly and securely used. We will never process or use them. Do not do so." The bimonthly issue of National Interest will not publish online content, but will point out that the debate among gamers - which later became intense - is about reports on the scanning capabilities of the CAPTOR radar system. According to the "Easy Flight" website, about 600 aircraft are equipped with CAPTOR-E, an active electronically scanned array radar (AESA) that operates in the X-band. The discussion focused on the comparison between mechanical scanning (CAPTOR-M) and upgraded electronic scanning (CAPTOR-E), particularly the latter's ability to significantly reduce scanning time. Players have different opinions on the exact technical abilities, leading to the unwise sharing of confidential data War Thunder was first released in 2013 and is widely regarded as the most "realistic" combat simulation game currently open to the public. The game simulates over 1900 combat vehicles, and according to the entertainment company "Outsider", it has approximately 60000 active players from around the world. It is reported that the most serious players will spend thousands of dollars to purchase advanced control devices to better simulate flight experiences, while some players will also spare no effort to create immersive experiences for tanks and other vehicles. The hardcore popularity of this game has in turn sparked heated debates around "confidential" details. In the past few years, gamers have shared confidential information related to the F-15E "Attack Eagle" fighter jet and the F-16 "War Falcon" fighter jet. (New Society)
