当俄罗斯开始袭击乌克兰的数据中心和电信基础设施时，显然未能为可能的报复做好准备。如今，俄罗斯的数字服务正面临广泛中断，因为乌克兰的无人机袭击在几天内摧毁了俄罗斯科技巨头Yandex拥有的三个最大数据中心。
When Russia began attacking Ukrainian data centers and telecommunication infrastructure, it apparently failed to prepare for possible retaliation. Now Russia’s digital services are facing widespread outages after Ukrainian drone strikes knocked out three of the largest data centers owned by Russian tech giant Yandex within several days.
根据独立研究者ChrisO_wiki翻译的帖子，亲克里姆林宫博主警告称，俄罗斯的集中式数字经济可能崩溃，因为该国未为其发起的“数据中心战争”做好准备。俄罗斯评论员还认为，如果两国继续交火，乌克兰的分散式数字服务可能比俄罗斯的系统更具韧性。
Pro-Kremlin bloggers are warning that Russia’s centralized digital economy could collapse because the country is not prepared for the “data center war” it started, according to posts translated by the pseudonymous independent researcher ChrisO_wiki. The Russian commentators also suggested that Ukraine’s decentralized digital services could prove more resilient than Russia’s system if the countries continue trading such blows.
俄罗斯最初在9月下旬发动了针对乌克兰数据中心和移动电话网络的无人机袭击行动。这些袭击暂时中断了乌克兰首都基辅多达10万户家庭的互联网和手机服务，这是更广泛的远程打击行动的一部分，该行动涉及俄罗斯导弹和喷气式无人机袭击乌克兰的电网基础设施、交通枢纽，甚至住宅公寓楼。
Russia initially launched a drone strike campaign targeting Ukrainian data centers and mobile phone networks in late September. The attacks temporarily disrupted Internet and cell phone service for up to 100,000 households in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and came as part of a broader long-range strike campaign that has involved Russian missiles and jet-powered drones hitting Ukraine’s power grid infrastructure, transportation hubs, and even residential apartment building blocks.
