Entire military operations have failed due to weather, accurate weather forecasts are vital in both war and peace.

This is another small blow for Russia.

Extremely difficult to exfiltrate that much data undetected. I do agree that there are much better targets though. Huge loss for science

the way large amount of data is moved is physically moving the drives, because transfering it over the internet might take months or years. an online calculator says that it would take about 6 months to transfer 2pb over a 1 gigabit connection.

Weather and climate information is vital to war efforts.

And what are you gonna do with 2 Petabyte of raw meterological data, if you dont have meterologists?

@Vriska @robocall (2 tb of data transfer might be observed by a monitoring system... So if you had the make the choice... Good...wipe everything Russian) #DestroyRussiaOnceAndForAll
