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.
