WWIII HAS BEGUN: Medvedev Wants Hypersonic Missiles Near Washington

Guest Post by Gerald Celente

Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s national security council, on Thursday called for Moscow’s hypersonic Zircon missiles to be placed about 100 miles off of the coast of the U.S. in retaliation for Washington’s support of Ukraine.

He called for these missiles to be in close striking distance to Washington, D.C. and called them a New Year gift.

Business Insider reported that the Kremlin announced Wednesday that it will sail the Admiral Gorshkov warship armed with the Zircons “on a long-range voyage that would pass through the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Mediterranean Sea.”

The ship is one of Russia’s most advanced warships. In 2019, the ship docked at a Havana, Cuba, the port. The AP reported at the time: All of the Russian naval missions to Cuba have been seen as a projection of military power close to U.S. shores, although neither Cuba nor Russian have described them as anything other than routine.

His threat came after a U.S. embassy video emerged that supported Russians who oppose the war in Ukraine, Reuters reported.

The State Department did not immediately respond to an email inquiry from The Trends Journal. We reported in May that Moscow said it successfully fired its Zircon from a warship in the Barents Sea that traveled 625 miles and hit its target in the White Sea. The missile can reportedly travel nine times the speed of sound.

In April, Russia also successfully test fired its new Sarmat superheavy Intercontinental Ballistic Missile that can reportedly deploy 10 or more nuclear warheads on each missile.
