Shortly before the strikes on Yandex and Sber data centers, the bank-affiliated company InfoTech Balakovo urgently procured air-defense equipment. This was reported by Important Stories.
InfoTech Balakovo is responsible for the construction and operation of Sber’s data center in the Saratov region.
The outlet reports that the company placed orders back in August for electronic-warfare systems, personal protective equipment, firefighting equipment, and anti-aircraft equipment worth 59 million rubles.
On October 5, the company urgently ordered anti-aircraft searchlights and Heracles mobile UAV detection and suppression systems.
In late September, Sber sought to urgently order services to launch UAV-simulating targets for training, as well as a software license for the Groza drone-detection system.
🔴Sber’s data center in Balakovo was struck overnight on October 14.
