The latest leaks weren't actually leaks, the F-16 and F-15 stuff was just export-restricted and already on the internet somewhere. The real funny one is the Su57 """stealth fighter""" one, where it has a radar return like 1000 times bigger than an F-22, comparable to an F-18.

That wasn’t even classified iirc that was free domain patent info. People are going out of their way to find “secret” info and just posting random open source shit.

Thing is these things are on the internet yes, but legally afaik it's still not allowed to be spread around. Just because something is available online does not mean it is allowed to be spread by people. And where individuals will likely get away with it. If gaijin starts using it as a basis for game changes they can very likely get into legal trouble.

Just like sure, you can download a movie. And if you watch it somewhere in your own home? Odds are no one will care. Now, show that movie to a large group or start handing out that downloaded movie? That's when you start being in trouble.

Pretty sure that either the F16 or F15 leak specifically said on the uploaded document to not ever, ever let it leave the country without permission first, on pain of severe criminal charges.
