Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers cripple Russia's AI supercomputers

Ukrainian strikes damaged all three of Yandex's supercomputers (Chervonenkis, Lyapunov, Galushkin), likely via fire and soot contamination through air-cooling systems. Cleaning could take months, and replacing NVIDIA chips could take years due to equipment shortages, setting back Russia's AI development and potentially dropping it behind Kazakhstan. This is a significant degradation of Russian AI infrastructure, though the full extent of damage remains unconfirmed.
