Someone leaked classified military documents on the Warthunder forums again

Why do you think we're spending so much money on Arma?
@LukeAlmighty Isn't Arma like the consumer version of a proper training sim?
@matrix
I think you reversed it (Flashpoint came before the military use), but essentially yes.
@LukeAlmighty oh, that makes sense
@matrix
Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (2001)
VBS1 (2002)
Damn, they seriously didn't wait long for that use. I would expect it to take much longer, before military gets involved.
@LukeAlmighty No, Warthunder is their intel gathering operation
