The Dallas Analytics (Ukrainian: Приватна розвідувально-аналітична компанія Даллас Аналітикс) is a Ukrainian private intelligence and data analysis firm. Founded in 2014, the organization's primary mission is to investigate and expose the Russian war economy, its military-industrial complex, the operations of Russian special services, and foreign actors that facilitate the survival of the Russian state^[1].

Since its inception, Dallas has operated in close coordination with representatives of Ukrainian and allied foreign intelligence agencies, as well as with domestic and international media outlets. The company frequently collaborates on investigations with several notable partners, including Frontelligence Insight, the 256th Cyber Assault Division, and the Myrotvorets Center.

In its investigations, the company utilizes a multifaceted approach, combining Open-source intelligence (OSINT) with Human Intelligence (HUMINT) and covert operational methods. Dallas also relies heavily on advanced data analytics, processing vast amounts of information from both open-source and restricted-access databases^[1].

Throughout its history, Dallas has conducted numerous operations aimed at countering Russian aggression against Ukraine. Significant disclosures and operations include:

• Missile Production Intelligence: Revealing classified data regarding Russian production capacities and future manufacturing schedules for Kh-101 cruise missiles^[2].
• Sanctions Evasion: Uncovering illicit supply chains used to smuggle sanctioned oil extraction equipment into Russia, as well as exposing networks facilitating the import of automotive parts into Russia and Belarus^[3].
• Acquiring comprehensive intelligence regarding the operational readiness and state of Russian strategic combat aviation^[4].
• AZAL Flight 8243: Exposing the methods utilized by the Russian government to conceal the true number and personal identities of the victims of the AZAL flight 8243 crash^[5].
• Exposing the illicit supply of Austrian-manufactured components used in Russian missile systems, alongside obtaining documents detailing the volume and specifications of Belarusian components supplied for the same purpose^[6][7].
• Acquisition of documents detailing the volume and specifications of Belarusian components supplied for Russian missile programs^[8][9][10].
• Exposure of sanctions evasion networks facilitating the supply of automotive components utilized in Russia and Belarus^[11].
• Securing internal documents from the Russian aerospace enterprise JSC Aviaremont. These files revealed critical systemic failures in the maintenance of Antonov (An) aircraft within the Russian Armed Forces^[12]. The leak gained significant traction within the international aviation community as definitive evidence of engineering capability deficits in the Russian aviation industry^{[13][14][15][16]}.

Starlink Targeting Operation. In May 2026, The Times published a video report detailing a joint tactical operation between Dallas and Ukrainian military hackers. After the cut of Starlink service for Russian military by SpaceX^[17], the "operational game" successfully identified the coordinates of Starlink satellite terminals utilized by the Russian Armed Forces, which directly led to the targeted destruction of Russian headquarters and command and observation posts (KSPs). According to the report, the operation combined the hacking of Russian military electronic communications with social engineering and active HUMINT measures directed against Russian military personnel^[18].

"Oreshnik" guidance system analysis. On June 16, 2026, the Institute for the Study of War published^[19] 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^[20]. 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^{[21][22][23][24]}.

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^[25].
