Russia's Leaked 2013-2014 Documents Reveal Plans to Strike 160 Military and Civilian Targets in Japan and South Korea
Dec 31, 2024, 03:56 PM
Russia's military had prepared detailed target lists for potential strikes on Japan and South Korea, according to leaked documents from 2013-2014 reviewed by the Financial Times. The plans, which were part of training materials for officers, included 160 targets such as roads, bridges, factories, and nuclear power plants. The documents suggest that Russia was concerned about its eastern borders in the event of a conflict with NATO, fearing vulnerability to attacks from U.S. forces and regional allies. The lists encompass both military and civilian infrastructure, with 82 military targets including central and regional command headquarters, radar installations, air bases, and naval facilities. Civilian targets include 13 power plants, such as the Tokai nuclear complex in Japan, and the Kanmon tunnel linking Honshu and Kyushu islands. In South Korea, the Pohang steelworks and chemical factories in Busan were listed. The documents also detailed scenarios involving the use of the non-nuclear Kh-101 cruise missile, with one scenario targeting the Okushiritou radar base in Japan.
