Dallas Analytics (Ukrainian: Приватна розвідувальна компанія Dallas Analytics) is a Ukrainian private intelligence and research organisation. The organisation focuses on evaluating and countering Russia’s defence-industrial base and wartime economy by providing researchers, media entities, and policy experts with primary-source data, empirical analysis, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and proprietary research databases.
The founding team has monitored and documented Russian defence procurement, sanctions evasion networks, state security organs, and foreign facilitating actors since 2014 through various investigative initiatives and research partnerships. In 2025, the group formally established Dallas Analytics to institutionalise these efforts, expanding its core team of analysts and security experts while building a broader international research community.
To advance public-interest reporting, the organisation maintains proactive cooperation with global media outlets, providing journalists and newsrooms with data-backed expert commentary, customised datasets, and investigative research infrastructure.Dallas site description

Operational activities Dallas Analytics employs a multi-disciplinary research methodology combining open-source intelligence (OSINT), quantitative data analytics, and targeted primary-source collection. The organisation synthesises large-scale empirical datasets alongside specialised research repositories to map complex defence supply chains, procurement networks, and state-backed evasion mechanisms.

Key analytical publications and primary-source disclosures include: Strategic Missile Readiness (RS-28 Sarmat): Publishing internal defence-industry correspondence demonstrating that Russia's RS-28 Sarmat ICBM remained in testing stages despite official claims of combat deployment, exposing pricing disputes and manufacturing delays between Roscosmos entities.Fielded on Paper: How Russia Declared Sarmat ICBM Operational Before It Could Build It Space Sector Procurement & Foreign Industrial Tooling: Documenting the acquisition of foreign industrial machinery by the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center and analysing the trade networks of East Asian suppliers facilitating hardware delivery to Russian military space initiatives.Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door: The Foreign Machinery Behind Russia’s Space MilitarisationHow Asian Companies Respond to Evidence of Involvement in Russia’s Military Space Programme Precision Weapon Component Diversion: Evaluating internal production documentation and microchip procurement files to establish verified manufacturing volumes and supply bottlenecks for Kh-101 cruise missiles, including the diversion of Austrian-manufactured electronic components.Document leaks: How many X-101 missiles Russia produces and which foreign parts usesMicrochips for Russian Missiles – DocumentsRussia uses Austrian components to manufacture missiles Military Transport & Strategic Aviation Maintenance: Disclosing technical records from the Russian aerospace enterprise JSC Aviaremont, detailing systemic engineering failures and maintenance backlogs within the Antonov (An) military transport fleet.Maintained to Fail: Russia’s Military Aircraft Crisis in Its Own WordsRussia’s Shadow Airlift: How the Kremlin Weaponised Commercial Aviation Energy & Industrial Supply Chain Evasion: Uncovering illicit procurement channels used to supply sanctioned oil extraction hardware and industrial automotive components to Russian and Belarussian state enterprises.U.S. Oilfield Giant SLB Still Profits from Russia Despite SanctionsOilfield Services Giant SLB Serves Rosneft – Despite New U.S. Sanctionss Maritime Sanctions Evasion & Shadow Fleet Architecture: Examining internal correspondence from state shipping entities (such as Sovcomflot), crewing agencies, and vessel masters to map the human infrastructure, fraudulent flag registries, and ship-to-ship (STS) transfer tactics sustaining Russian seaborne crude oil exports.Russian Shadow Fleet: An Inside PerspectiveShadow Fleet’s Silent Enablers: How Russian Crewing Companies Keep the Oil Flowing State Information Control (AZAL Flight 8243): Documenting state-directed information management and identity obfuscation procedures surrounding casualty records from the AZAL Flight 8243 crash.Hiding the Unhideable: How Russia Manipulates Air Crash Statistics
Analytical materials "Oreshnik" guidance system analysis. On June 16, 2026, the Institute for the Study of War publishedRussian Offensive Campaign Assessment, June 16, 2026 a brief summary of a Dallas Analytics investigation detailing the structural, organizational, and technical issues contributing to the low strike precision of the Russian "Oreshnik" ballistic missile. The investigation relied on intercepted email correspondence between lead engineers and managers overseeing the production of the missile's guidance systems, alongside an analysis of missile remains collected from impact sites in Ukraine. The report concluded that the contemporary Russian defense industry is unable to replicate Soviet-era missile guidance technologies (gyroscopes). Furthermore, Russia faces substantial difficulties in developing new guidance systems using modern components, largely due to international sanctions and an inability to manufacture advanced electronics domestically. These findings generated significant media attention, particularly within the Russian-language press.«Орешник», ответь «Далласу»!No new “Oreshnik” launch? / The Kremlin lost its main trump cardКосой «Орешник» On July the 6th Forbes published an interview of the Dallas representative stating that the Oreshnik is no conventional "wonder weapon," but an expensive system with significant accuracy limitations that is unlikely to alter conditions at the front. Instead, "the true target of the Oreshnik is the West" as Moscow uses the weapon to signal escalation while projecting strength at home.
