There are few moments in the gaming world as iconic as War Thunder players leaking military documents online to prove a point. Despite all the efforts made by its developers, the community continues to delve into secret information and has once again posted classified manuals, this time for Russian tanks.

The leak happened earlier this week during a forum discussion regarding the T-90M, T-80BVM, and T-90S Russian main battle tanks, all of which are currently in service and appear in War Thunder itself. The documents shared are user manuals meant for those operating said vehicles and have, like most other military documents, been declared classified or sensitive even though they contain relatively surface-level information. Community managers at the War Thunder forum have struck down all posts containing the documents, though the files continue to circulate online.
