Info for this leak is harder to come by, but it seems that the leak for the Tiger was about the armor layout for the vehicle.

Ok so I've looked into this one further and it definitely happened. However, the documents that we're leaked are technically only still classified in Russia, they're not so in former Pact countries like Poland or Hungary.

8/30/23 : Well gents, it's happened again, Warthunder sweep. This time for the Eurofighter Typhoon. A true madlad posted a full 730 page manual that encompassed a total dossier of the jet on the warthunder forums leading most likely to a ban.
Thanks to @Red Frost for a link to the forum post!
~1/31/2024 :
Same set of documents as the first leak were leaked again onto forums.
Same damn document was leaked again. A WarThunder developer actually made a comment this time.

9/11/23 : Got another one, the F-117 Nighthawk, one of the funni flying doritos. Included in the leak was pictures of the flight manual detailing sensors, engine specs and firing angles. “Our moderators quickly nuked the post, deleted the files and banned the user,” Govorun told Task & Purpose on Thursday. “This is probably 12th time this happens.” (Innacurate, this ♥♥♥♥'s happened WAY more than 12 times...)
*Keep in mind, this was leaked a long while before it was revealed that the F-117 was coming to War Thunder. Maybe the leak power was so strong it got it added retroactively. With that in mind, please start leaking F-22 documents onto the forums, I want my Starscream jet thanks.
(?) 11/08/24 : Supposedly the flight manual was leaked again for the F-117. However, I cannot find a screenshot or link for evidence, so this one comes with an asterisk. I'll update this if someone can provide evidence.- Source #1[taskandpurpose.com]

6/21/25 : A page from the vehicles flight manual was leaked onto the Warthunder forums, specifically the NATOPS. The manual is marked "Distribution Statement C", which makes it restricted to authorized personnel and contractors.

Documents detailing specifics of the Chinese DTW-125 tank round were put on the forums before being taken down by a mod. I think this may have been the same round as an earlier leak but I'm still gonna list this just in case. (EDIT) This is a different ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ round than the first Chinese ammo leak back in 2022, futher credit to Alyshan for the link.
Thanks @Alyshan for the link!

A manual allegedly got leaked for the T-90M's operation and diagrams of its ERA blocks. Hard to gather concrete evidence for this one since most forums talking about it have been nuked from orbit so I'm throwing it in here for now.

For the reddit link, the guy explains he didn't want to post it to the WarThunder forums due to not wanting to get IP banned.
