Like I said: Russia is extremely centralized. If Ukraine takes out all Yandex data centers Russia will practically come to a standstill economically. These data centers cannot be easily replaced due to the Western sanctions.
It would be really interesting if Russia were forced on its knees due to a few destroyed data centers and has to sue for peace or at least make a deal with Ukraine to prevent the remaining ones from being laid into ashes. That would be epic and certainly the subject of many military studies henceforth.
