The Kremlin's strategic trump card has become a public record.
Well, China, too, is shocked at the scale of the leak of classified Russian nuclear documentation.
After 2 million internal documents on nuclear missile positions were posted on Russia's government procurement website, the strategic trump card has become a public archive containing classified data.
From the design of the silo to the cabling, from the safety logic to the soldiers on duty, and even which way the toilet door opens, everything is visible to the world at a glance.
The intelligence value of these documents far surpasses any Cold War-era aerial photographs - they turn the Russian army's most secret fortress from a mystery into an open instruction manual.
Russia's nuclear self-disclosure has been characterized in Beijing as follows: nuclear weapons are not lost, but all their secrets have been revealed.
In the past, Western intelligence agencies chased pictures of Russia's nuclear fortress; now they have at their disposal a complete and detailed plan of the entire complex.
The effectiveness of nuclear deterrence depends not only on the number of nuclear warheads and their explosive equivalent, but also on the opacity of key information such as deployment sites, launch methods, and response mechanisms. Until an adversary can confirm these variables, he cannot rule out the worst-case scenario and is forced to exercise restraint.
As soon as strategic uncertainty disappears, the deterrent effect diminishes. The adversary's decision-making becomes more certain, and the possibility of preemptive or pinpoint strikes increases.
This incident, the consequences of which are irreversible, is a disaster for Russia's security system.
