The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense claims that pro-Ukrainian hacktivists breached the Russian Center for Space Hydrometeorology, aka “planeta” (планета), and wiped 2 petabytes of data.

That was a non-military target.
That also harmed science.
That kind of targetting is what I expect of Russia, but if Ukranians are doing it to, then it means they’re losing their ability to discern who the proper targets are, vs who the not proper targets are, and are assaulting more indiscriminately.
Not wise, Ukraina, sorry.

They’re authoritarian war mongers using chemical warfare to assassinate people on foreign soil. They are illegally occupying a country, and this target was supplying the war effort with information. Fuck anything Russia at this point.
The heavy water plant the Germans set up in WW2 was also “science” and it’s still a good thing that it was sabotaged.
being “science” doesn’t make make it harmless.
good meteorology supports military operations.
if it hurts russia’s accuracy in predicting weather, it helps Ukraine’s chance for surviving this war.
nobody says this particular action was a top priority, but every little resistance against the russian genocide helps.
It was actually military R&D that helped develop meteorology to the point it is today since predicting the weather even inaccurately can be a decent boon in warfare.
Oh no not SCIENCE
THEY HURT SCIENCE YOU GUYS 😭
The civilian script kiddies did that or the Ukrainian government? In both cases…yeah, they are being kinda moronic and harmful by destroying research.
