The military of the aggressor country of russia has drawn up a detailed list of targets to be hit in the event of a potential war with Japan and South Korea. The list includes nuclear power plants and civilian infrastructure.
The British newspaper Financial Times reported this on Tuesday, December 31, citing secret documents from 2013-2014.
According to secret files seen by the Financial Times, the russian plans cover about 160 facilities in Japan and South Korea, such as roads, bridges and factories, the destruction of which is to stop the “regrouping of troops in operational areas”. In addition, the list includes nuclear power plants. The publication writes that the documents were obtained from 29 secret Russian military files for training officers for a potential conflict on the country’s eastern border in 2008-2014 and are still considered relevant to the russian military strategy.
"The first 82 sites on Russia's target list are military in nature, such as the central and regional command headquarters of the Japanese and South Korean armed forces, radar installations, air bases and naval facilities.. The remainder are civilian infrastructure sites including road and rail tunnels in Japan such as the Kanmon tunnel linking Honshu and Kyushu islands. Energy infrastructure is also a priority: the list includes 13 power plants, such as nuclear complexes in Tokai, as well as fuel refineries," the report says.
In South Korea, bridges, industrial facilities such as the Pohang Steel Plant and chemical plants in Busan are on the list for destruction. The FT notes that russia fears vulnerability along its eastern borders, which could become vulnerable to attacks from the United States and its allies.
As Ukrainian News Agency reported, the aggressor country russia is carrying out provocations along the border with Estonia and may attack the country to force the North Atlantic Alliance to intervene.
On July 23, the Inspector General of the German Armed Forces, Carsten Breuer, stated that russia could attack the North Atlantic Alliance in 5-8 years.
On December 16, Newsweek magazine created a map of potential hot spots if russia invades further into Europe.
