According to RBC, the computers in question are "Lyapunov", "Galushkin", and "Chervonenkis". "Yandex" stated that they were not damaged during the drone attacks on the data processing centers (DPCs).

They have now been removed from the data centers and are being installed at new locations:

"They have been removed from the places where they were located until now and are currently being launched at new computing sites. The supercomputers will continue to be used as infrastructure for 'Yandex' services as before, as well as in training fundamental language models," the company reported.

"Yandex" data centers were attacked by drones three times this October: the strikes hit DPC facilities in the city of Sasovo in the Ryazan region, as well as in Kaluga and Vladimir. The attacks affected not only the operation of the company's cloud services, but also other systems, including state systems. In addition, disruptions were also observed in the company's services in Uzbekistan.
