I'm sure there are exceptions for classified systems. Personally, I do believe all things developed by tax payer money should be released to the public including classified systems, given enough time has passed that the release of such information wouldn't put anything or anyone at risk.
For the most part they are. You can find enormous troves of classified documents that have been made public, and a huge amount of once top secret technology and engineering eventually makes its way into the public space.
Yeah, they get open sourced by publishing them over the usual channels during disputes on the War Thunder discord server.
Well yeah, when someone on the internet is wrong, you need to prove it!
