Hacking of the Knyaz Pozharsky Submarine

Summary:

In August 3, 2025, Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) reportedly infiltrated the digital systems of Russia’s newest Borei-A class nuclear submarine, Knyaz Pozharsky, obtaining highly classified technical documents. The stolen data included combat manuals, engineering schematics, crew rosters with detailed fitness and role information, operational schedules, and procedures for critical functions like evacuation and towing. This breach not only exposes possible weaknesses in Russia’s newest naval asset but potentially reveals vulnerabilities across the entire Borei-A fleet, a cornerstone of Moscow's nuclear deterrent strategy.
