They also got information about the companies working in the defense industry of the Russian Federation and producing components for the missiles. They've also managed to receive all this information due to an informant working at one of the strategic enterprises of the Russian Federation. Due to him, all the needed information that concerned the missiles and war crimes was gathered.

In general, the cyber unit currently has detailed documentation on the missile production process, from the beginning of the contract formation to the supply of components and final assembly.

In the future, this information will allow additional operations aimed at eliminating the key persons behind the missiles production and war crimes. It should be noted that the Russian Volunteer Corps announced several new high-profile operations in the Russian Federation, since they have detailed information about hundreds of key persons.

The Russian defense industry has already demonstrated its vulnerability to hackers and cyberattackers seeking to obtain secret information.
