The Financial Times has obtained access to 29 Russian military secret files from 2013-2014 with lists of targets, particularly nuclear power plants, for a potential war with Japan and South Korea.

Summary

Leaked Russian military documents from 2013-2014, obtained by the Financial Times, reveal plans to target 160 sites in Japan and South Korea, including nuclear power plants, civilian infrastructure, and military facilities, in preparation for a potential conflict.

The targets included key energy sites like the Tokai nuclear plant and industrial facilities in Busan and Pohang.

The files highlight Russia’s strategic focus on its eastern borders amid concerns about vulnerabilities during a NATO conflict.

The plans were linked to showcasing the Kh-101 missile, though Russia’s confidence in its missile systems is now seen as overstated.

    I think every major power has plans to attack their neighbors “just in case”. I would be SHOCKED if the USA didn’t have plans to invade Canada and Mexico, for example.

      Yeah, you want your military to plan for every eventuality. Otherwise they’re not doing their jobs.

      Certainly now that Trump is taking over.
