The article clearly says the Thai leaker harmed Thailand the most as their neighbors will recalibrate military procurement to exploit this. Next most harmed is Pakistan who manufactures these. VT-4 is an export model so China is only affected in terms of the hit to sales revenue that will likely result. They will probably feel incentivized to sell an improved export model that addresses the leaked vulnerabilities.
Of course it was War Thunder.
Are all soldiers TODDLERS nowadays that they couldn't keep their big f..ng mouth, mind, fingers shut, nor the discipline to not commit such idiocy?
Where all government agencies go for foreign weapons systems information, they don't even need to spy no more.
The problem today is information can spread far and wide with ease now due to internet, phones, computers being so available and easy to use. Not much in our modern sphere of living is secret anymore, we're in a information golden age, we've never known so much and been so interconnected with the globe like we do in todays times. An ex cia agent from the 80s said they can monitor you with any device without your knowledge and jack into your personal devices via usb charging ports.
There's a machine translated version of that document in the Chinese export vehicle thread. I wonder how close are the specs of the VT-4 in comparison to contemporary Chinese tanks. I'd imagine it'll be slightly better than a type 96B but more protected since it's a good 10 tons heavier.
