Ukrainian hackers have obtained secret data about the latest Russian submarine, which exposes its vulnerabilities

The new submarine is based in Gadzhievo, Murmansk Oblast, and is part of the Russian Northern Fleet. It belongs to the Borei-A class (Project 955A).

The GUR reported that they managed to obtain:

• Name lists of the submarine crew, including data on positions, qualifications and level of physical training;
• combat instructions for the crew;
• combat scheme of the ship, schemes of systems to ensure survivability and organizational structure of the crew;
• crew regulations in cabins and cockpits, instructions for transferring wounded and cargo, procedures for towing and other job instructions;
• engineering documentation, in particular, a report on the investigation of a deformed radio beacon indicating the members of the commission and the enterprises that participated in the investigation.

In addition, Ukrainian specialists received an extract from the ship’s schedule book of the «Pozharsky». This voluminous document regulates the daily combat and everyday work of the ship.

«Project 955A Borei-A submarines are one of the key elements of the Kremlin’s so-called nuclear triad. The submarines have 16 launch pods for R-30 Bulava-30 intercontinental ballistic missiles, each of which can carry up to 10 warheads,» the GUR notes.

 

 

 

The information received will help identify the features and technical limitations of not only the Prince Pozharsky, but also other Project 955A submarines, on which Russia has high hopes, given its strategic position in the Arctic.

During the commissioning ceremony of the submarine «Prince Pozharsky», Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to deploy six more nuclear submarines by 2030, which will be equipped with the unmanned underwater vehicle «Poseidon» with a nuclear engine.
