National Centre for management of defence of the Russian Federation, Military command center in Khamovniki District, Moscow, Russia
The National Centre for Management of Defence is the main command hub for Russian military operations located in Moscow. The facility processes real-time information and coordinates military activities across the armed forces to support strategic decisions.
The center was established in 2014 as part of modernizing Russian military command structures and replaced earlier systems within the General Staff. This reorganization shifted how military operations and strategic coordination were handled at the highest levels.
Military officials and government leaders gather in the center's information halls to conduct strategic briefings and coordinate national defense activities.
The facility operates continuously with duty personnel who monitor and respond to incoming reports and situations. Visitors should understand that this is an active command center with very restricted public access.
The center's computing system processes information at 16 petaflops and stores 236 petabytes of data using the specialized Astra Linux operating system.
