Russian EW and insurance responses to drone threat escalation

Bottom line

Russian entities are deploying multi-layered counter-drone systems for data centers and raising insurance tariffs by 50x due to war losses, while approving state guidelines for drone defense.

Why it matters

The drastic increase in insurance costs and mandatory defensive measures indicate the severe economic impact of drone warfare on Russian critical infrastructure, potentially affecting supply chains and data security for entities operating in or with Russia.

In response to escalating drone threats, Russian entities are taking significant defensive and financial measures. The ‘Clean Sky’ EW association and ‘Synergy Integrator’ are partnering to protect industrial sites, particularly data centers, using detection, EW suppression, and physical nets. Simultaneously, the Russian National Reinsurance Company (RNPC) has raised terrorism and drone insurance tariffs from 1% to 50% and cut limits fivefold due to accumulated losses exceeding 100bn rubles in 2026. The Ministry of Digital Development has also approved guidelines mandating multi-layered physical and electronic counter-drone defenses for data centers.
