European news outlets Danwatch and Der Spiegel have reportedly secured access to an alleged 2 million-document trove detailing the inner layouts of Russia’s strategic nuclear facilities.
Among the most sensational revelations are purported blueprints of the ultra-secret Yasny base—home to the hypersonic Avangard missile—showing tunnel networks, surveillance-camera positions and even restroom locations.
According to the published reports, the cache includes architectural drawings, alarm schematics, IT-network diagrams and lists of support-facility amenities such as gym equipment and wall posters. Contractors allegedly uploaded these files via state procurement portals; once online, the materials remained publicly accessible until journalists discovered them.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense has not officially commented on the breach.
Security experts warn that, if authentic, the documents grant foreign intelligence services near-CIA-level insight into Russia’s nuclear infrastructure. Analysts note that knowing precise motion-sensor locations and tunnel routings could allow adversaries to map weak points for sabotage or targeted operations.
The fallout could force a multi-billion-dollar reconstruction of compromised facilities under tighter cyber-and-physical security protocols.
