Challenger 2 MBT - Technical data and Discussion (Part 1)

[DevilO6]

To sum it up. It was posted, removed later so we have no idea if it is clear or not

[Tr0lski]

I’d like to say that that exact photo is up on twitter and has been viewed 33.5k times

[duckmartin]

A ok well I’ve seen it on the challenger 2 FB group am in. I honestly didn’t know a picture of challenger 2 with it’s armour removed was classified like we posted pictures of the raw turret before ??

[DevilO6]

The problem is that original poster deleted it and

@da12thmonkey

The photo is taken on Ministry of Defence property, not in a public space. Believe it or not, there are rules about what you can and can’t take photos of on military bases, and you need the MoD’s permission to publish them.

[DevilO6]

Yea, but

@Gunjob

Discussion is still dissemination of potentially classified information so no.

[zuadao]

just found the photo again on twitter, sent it to gunjob to make sure its safe

@Gunjob

That post was pulled before, frankly until I see a FOIA for it I will consider it to be a breach of the Official Secrets Act and therefore a breach of forum rules.

This will be the response, just forget the picture, dont post it on the forums and stop talking about it here.

[zuadao]

if the photo gets reposted everywhere im not gona forget about it. tweet has over 34k views and 55 retweets.

plus the photo is a lot bigger than what was on instagram that got pulled

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

Yeah I know but its a

@Gunjob

breach of forum rules.

and just because its been seen by thousands of people, doesnt mean its magically declassified to show the armour parts in the photo

[zuadao]

thing is, if we dont know if its actually classified and starts to get posted everywhere is it really classified?

like i sayd the photo here on twitter has a much better resolution than the one on instagram. so i may be from a diferent source and not classified at all

and i dont really think it shows a lot to be honest…

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

Don’t make me repost the gunjob quote again.

just think about it for a second, if more people made screens from it and repost it…
Does it mean its not classified? anymore ? :D

takes screenshot of classified document, uses paint to cross out the secret marking. It is now declassified :D

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

So one in the original picture, and the insta one is a screenshot of it, therefore quality gets worse :/

[HyJetV]

I know you joke…but didn’t someone actually do that on here once? Can’t remember for which vehicle…

[MuricaxSuffers]

@zuadao

Yes no Maybe

Feel free to leak stuff but tell us later what happend

@John_Sneeeeeeeew

why so much work ? just cut it out
kgb mi6 cia don’t know about that magic trick

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

There is no point arguing about this, gaijin has said it is currently classified in their books, therefore its against the forum rules to post, or talk about it.

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

Yes, it was challenger 2 documents i believe :)

[Gunjob]

If someone wants to FOIA it and it turns out in a month its okay then you can post away. But until then;
