Russian officials rattled by breach at rocket plant

[ via Reuters ] 29 Dec

Russia's deputy prime minister vowed Thursday to punish "sleepy" security officials after bloggers posted dozens of photos of an apparently unguarded strategic military rocket motor factory near Moscow.

Blogger Lana Sator said she and friends met not a soul, much less any security guards, as they roamed around state rocket-maker Energomash's plant, snapping pictures, on five separate night-time excursions in recent months.

Photos by Lana Sator: I must appreciate the superb photographic skills of Lana as some of the 100 or so photographs posted on her site are simply masterpiece shots - if she dared, she did justice to it 

She posted almost 100 pictures of decrepit-looking hardware from inside a rusted engine-fuel testing tower, the plant's control room and even its roof at lana-sator.livejournal.com
