[–] su25@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

the leaked info was sensitive information about the bradley IFV (a lot of which have been sent to ukraine) so heres to hoping this leaked info is used for a good cause.

It’s just two pages from the field maintenance manual about the internal nuts and bolts placement/how to take it apart for cleaning, of the commander’s hatch, turret assembly, and spall liner.

So unless we plan to fight the next war by throwing hordes of engineers armed with wrenches at a Bradley to climb inside and slowly take its turret off… I don’t see how this is too useful.

The Lancets are already taking care of them. So many burning Bradleys in Ukraine that never saw combat penetrated by small drones they are never equipped to fight against. In fact the Lancets are killing pretty much every class of NATO and Ukrainian tanks they can find these days.

SU-57 - Russia

what was the leak for this one

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The plane's radar cross-section, and the patent paperwork that includes precise technical specifications and outlines. Not incredibly groundbreaking or top secret, but still restricted.

The SU-57's stealth capabilities were.... awful compared to the F-22, F-35, and J-20. Which is disappointing, but expected due to the development hell of its creation, lack of funding or interest beyond propaganda outings, and the fact only 11 have been built over the past 12 years.

Extremely mean to leak info about it
