Reuters: Russia's Medvedev snaps back after U.S. appeal over Ukraine war
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday warned the United States that hypersonic missiles would soon be close to NATO's shores after the U.S. embassy said in a video it stood in solidarity with Russians who opposed the war in Ukraine.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered one of the most deadly wars in Europe since World War Two and the deepest crisis in Moscow's relations with the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
"The main gift for the New Year with an ammunition package of Zircon missiles left yesterday for the shores of NATO countries," Medvedev said, referring to President Vladimir Putin's deployment of a warship with hypersonic cruise missiles to the Atlantic.
Medvedev said the missiles could be placed 100 miles (160 km) off the U.S. coast, adding: "So rejoice! It will bring to their senses anyone who poses a direct threat to Russia and our allies."

WNU Editor: I would be more worried on where are Russia's ballistic missile submarines than on a frigate in the Atlantic Ocean.

Yeah i guess he's trolling/spinning for the media.
We can place a hypersonic missile 424 miles from Moscow from different directions.
натолий Александрович Собчак and his 2 bodyguards came down with heart attacks at the same time.
Likewise, Russia should be worried about where US subs might be. In the end, at best it would mean devestation for all involved. On the other hand, over the last two centuries the Russian people have grown used to living in a shithole country where the government considers them mere cannon fodder, so maybe they do have the advantage.
Whatever. Personally, I'm thankful for WNU, whether I agree with the editor or not. It's news and perspectives that we would not otherwise get. That's worth something
Medvedev is doing his job. That said who is listening him?
Zircon is not a ballistic missile, its speed and flightpath are meant to neutralise anti-ballistic interceptors. I assume they will eventually be installed on Russian subs also
