Wildberries allegedly altered map data to divert Ukrainian drone strikes to rival Ozon facilities
OSINT analysts say Russian retailer Wildberries changed the geolocation of its warehouses on digital maps in an attempt to mislead Ukrainian drones, but the effort failed and strikes on its sites continued.
OSINT analysts from Exilenova+ reported that Russian e-commerce company Wildberries modified the coordinates of its logistics hubs on online maps on August 11, shifting some locations onto neighboring properties owned by rival marketplace Ozon. The change was intended to confuse Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and protect goods stored in Wildberries warehouses.
"However, this did not mislead the intelligence and precision of the Defense Forces. The target was found and hit. Another enemy supply artery is gone," the analysts said.
According to the same analysis, Ukrainian drone attacks have struck 20 Wildberries-related facilities since the campaign began, with 15 reportedly destroyed by fire. The most recent attack hit a logistics complex near Voronezh, a site that opened in November 2025, spans 152,900 square meters, and can store more than 90 million items. The complex was built by the joint venture Wildberries-Russ (RVB) with an investment of about 11 billion rubles.
