An OSINT investigation has revealed the internal structure and geographic footprint of Russia’s Center 16, a secretive FSB unit involved in electronic surveillance and cyber espionage. The findings, based on analysis of commemorative badges, identified at least ten directorates within the unit, each associated with a unique Cyrillic letter, as well as two regional branches. These badges also provided clues about the functions of each department, such as network operations and internal communications security, and allowed researchers to geolocate ten radio-electronic surveillance facilities across Russia. These facilities, including sites near Sochi and in Kaliningrad, form a strategic interception network for monitoring communications, including potential surveillance of NATO operations.
