[HotAir] Danwatch, a Danish investigative media watchdog working in conjunction with German magazine Der Spiegel, has somehow managed to get its mitts on some some pretty amazing documents and blueprints. The two organizations have spent years downloading and comparing Russian military equipment documents called 'tenders.' Additionally, Danwatch has managed to obtain millions of inadvertently uploaded blueprints and plans as part of that cache of documents.
...Russia is quietly carrying out a modernization of its nuclear missile infrastructure near the Kazakh border, according to leaked classified documents and satellite imagery analyzed by Danish investigative group Danwatch and Germany’s Der Spiegel on May 28.
The revelations focus on extensive upgrades at silo complexes in the Orenburg region, particularly near the city of Yasny, where Russia’s 621st and 368th Missile Regiments are stationed. Both regiments are equipped with the Avangard strategic nuclear missile system, a hypersonic weapon capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
The leaked documents—part of a cache of more than two million files—include detailed architectural plans, internal layouts, and procurement records for new military installations. Much of this sensitive material was inadvertently published on Russia’s public government procurement portals, a practice that continued for years despite a 2020 shift to a classified tender system for military contracts.
