Russia Boasts Compact Deploy-Anywhere Supercomputer
Russia’s Ruselectronics Group, part of the state-owned Rostec corporation, has purportedly developed a compact “supercomputer” for defense applications with 2.2 peak petaflops of computing power, matched by 2.2 petabytes of data storage.
Announced by the Rostec press service today (Nov. 23), the 1.9 x 1.35 x 1 (m) compute module is said to provide record capacity for the space industry as well as the defense and industrial complex, using 40 percent less electricity than comparable solutions.
The system relies on immersive liquid cooling modules that enable container-based computing outside the traditionally equipped datacenter. This cooling system features a low noise level, dust and moisture protection, and is fire-safe, Rostec added.

Well, Elbrus-90micro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbrus_(computer)#SPARC [wikipedia.org] used in S-400 air defense system, can simultaneously track 300 airborne targets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-400_missile_system [wikipedia.org]
So, this baby should be able to handle all the flying machines that can be sent toward mother Russia and then some more.
