The Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine claims to have hacked the Russian aerospace and defense company Tupolev, which develops Russia's supersonic strategic bombers. This cyberespionage operation allowed Ukraine to access sensitive information about Tupolev's projects, including plans to modernize the strategic bombers Tu-95 and Tu-160, as well as the development of the attack drone "Male". The obtained documents reveal details about the capabilities of these aircraft and Russia's future plans for air warfare.
