Let’s see if Trump does something to stop this!
Spoiler: he will not!
RT:
The US is stepping up efforts to increase deployment of intermediate and short-range missiles, including stationing hypersonic weapons in Europe and Asia, according to information obtained by RT. Production and deployment of such systems in the US has reportedly been picking up pace in recent years.
Among the major weapons being developed is the multiple-launch rocket system Dark Typhon, which will be capable of firing Standard-6 missiles with a 500-km range and Tomahawk cruise missiles (2,400-km), as well as a hypersonic missile that is also still being developed. The system is expected to become operational by 2025.
During the NATO summit this past July, Washington and Berlin announced that Dark Typhoon would be stationed in Wiesbaden, Germany starting in 2026, a prospect that Russia slammed as an “escalatory action” given that it would place the missiles within range of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other major Russian cities.
…
According to the information obtained by RT, the US plans to start deploying the missiles in Japan by October 2025, which would put then within 8-10 minutes’ flight time from Vladivostok. By 2026, one rocket launcher equipped with 16 missiles is expected to be stationed in Wiesbaden, with a flight time to central Russia also estimated at 8-10 minutes.
The US probably doesn’t care must about Vladivostok, given that they have all of these missiles pointed at Moscow and Saint Petersburg. I think the missiles in Japan are for threatening China, primarily.
But of course, the US threatens the entire world, so I guess they want to threaten Siberia as well.
America is like an evil wizard with a vendetta against all human life.
Vladivostok is a very nice and friendly city.
Sad the US wants to threaten it with hypersonic missiles.
If I was going to threaten Vladivostok with something sonic, I would threaten to send Sonic the Hedgehog to hang out with them and have a fun adventure together.
Where’s Paul Craig Roberts’ “I Told You So” piece to Russia?
Can’t 100% blame Russia for what NATO/Israel are doing, but like the Lebanese journalist (Francis) said, Russia only cares about their naval base in Syria.
In the end, Russia has lost credibility, who will follow them now?
Even with Russia’s wonder weapons the West is still hellbent on war and now the axis lost Syria.
Things are falling apart, too many interests conflicting with one another.
No.
America is a fantastic place. It has been sickened however, infected by a psychological warfare agent.
Eradication of this agent and those who perpetuate it shall be the cure.
when did americans grow an IQ big enough to invent hypersonic missiles? or is the writer another idiot who confuses hyper- with supersonic
“Washington and Berlin announced that Dark Typhoon would be stationed in Wiesbaden, Germany starting in 2026, a prospect that Russia slammed as an “escalatory action” given that it would place the missiles within range of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other major Russian cities.”
– For sure, a move that does not do anything to better the situation, just the opposit.
But to be fair and avoid propaganda narratives – it appears that Russia has done the very same thing and this latest German/American move is just one more stupid round of tit-for-tat from both idiotic sides:
Already in March 2023 Medvedev idiotically big-mouthed about: (If Germany would adhere to the ICC warrant for President Putin)” all our missiles … would fly to the Bundestag”:
https://www.dw.com/en/ukraine-updates-medvedev-says-putin-arrest-would-be-war/a-65089023
And even as far back as 2019 (!) Putin and Russian State TV boasted with maps over targets in the US including the Pentagon that they could hit with their new hypersonic (nuclear) missiles “under 5 minutes”:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/feb/25/russian-state-tv-map-potential-us-nuclear-targets-hypersonic-missile
Begging the question, why is there such an abundance of idiots in positions of power on all sides…nature or nurture? (Genetics or something in the watersupply of Washington, Moscow, Berlin, London, Paris, Kiev….?)
As interesting sidenote, the decision of placing american missiles in Germany(Wiesbaden) apparently was all but popular in the german parliament (Bundestag), both the right (AfD) and left (BSW) succinctly calling it “Crazy”:
https://eadaily.com/en/news/2024/07/11/this-is-crazy-the-bundestag-criticized-the-decision-to-place-missiles-in-germany
lol, i’ll believe that when i see it. whatta ya wanna bet that gets pushed back…. yet again.
I agree with your comment. Considering the lack of progress of US truly hypersonic missiles, the US might as well threaten to station a death-ray in Europe.
Russia seems oblivious to their position for some reason. The window to stop this worldwide cabal from stealing Russia’s resources is closing fast.
BTW, I really can’t help but wonder why Russia did not hit Israel when the zionists attacked the Russian airbase warehouses in Syria. After the initial anger flare-up – that whole event went dark. You reckon’ Bibi has dirt on Putin? Anyone?
So what if the kike has dirt on anyone. There’s are so many skeleton’s in these scumbags closets who the hell cares what they say or think. If your an enemy of me I don’t give a crap what your think or say and I could use the same propaganda and psychological warfare as you. Like I’ve said before all is fair in love and war. Everybody knows this. By the way when you deal with immoral goons its just and right to use immoral and unethical means to destroy them…It’s that simple.
Agreed. The USA has been unable to develop such missiles. The Russians are ahead in metallurgy and figured out how to make the needed ultra-heat resistant nosecone to allow long-distant flights, which it provides to allied nations. The US has been unable to copy that.
When you don’t understand something, it is typically because you aren’t as smart as you want to think that you are.
“zionists attacked Russian airbase warehouses in Syria”
No. The Izzies hit a Syrian weapons storage facility 2 miles away from the Russian base; supposedly containing Iranian weapons destined for Hezbollah in Lebanon.
this aside, Putin is a well-known Jew-lover and Zionist stooge. I have no idea why anyone would expect someone thus compromised to be an effective opponent of Judeo-globohom0.
Thank You For Those Nice Pictures of Vladivostok!
One of the differences between Classical and Modern Architecture is that now you can’t tell who’s in the buildings.
Here in America, hypersonic means you hear a lot about them. It doesn’t mean they go fast.
Have I satisfied UNZ.com’s requirements to become an acceptable commentor? I endeavor to be Polite.
oh noes…tooth fairy “US hypersonics” in the R&D phase vs russian ones in serial production. never mind the (again: in production and proven) oreshniks that can turn that vaporware into actual 4,000C vapor the second they land at fucking rammstein or any other kraut shithole.
from now until 2026 is a long, long motherfucking way away in the “lightning fast” times we live in. do these cunts think “ukraine” will still be anything but a rump state getting ANALED in prime rump fashion by then?
where will the chinese kaiju be “by 2025” (which, if literal, means within the next 21 days)? godzilla? mechagodzilla? all the pacific rim monsters combined in a voltron with russia and north korea? who the fuck knows. and apologies to china for using a metpahor with japanese superbeasts and robots and such.
If you actually wanted to “be fair and avoid propaganda narratives” you’d acknowledge that it was the corrupt U.S. “government” that pushed NATO expansion and launched a hybrid war to “contain”/damage Russia; unilaterally pulled out of the ABM treaty; undermined/violated the spirit of the New START treaty; refused to negotiate with Russia the issue of intermediate range missiles and exited the INF treaty.
It was the U.S. “government” that repudiated the MAD doctrine and single-handedly brought the world back to the most dangerous days of the cold war. The fact of the matter is that Russia, like the USSR before it, has been doing nothing more than it was forced to do, i.e. reacting to the madness of the demon-possessed idiots running the corrupt West.
