The leak, allegedly orchestrated by a user identified as Fighterbomber on Telegram, saw the publication of the data across his channel, which boasts over 500,000 subscribers. Portions of the data were released on July 2, with the remainder following the next day. Fighterbomber claims to have obtained the 250 GB trove from a US company.

The compromised information reportedly includes technical specifics, maintenance records, and operational insights crucial to the functioning and security of these sophisticated aircraft.

The leak poses significant risks not only to US national security but also potentially endangers the security of allied nations relying on these fighter jets for defence capabilities.
