Among the locations highlighted is the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, the headquarters of the US Department of Defense and a central symbol of American military power.
Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia was also identified. It is the largest naval base in the world and hosts the highest concentration of US Navy forces, with tens of thousands of personnel and constant air operations.
Other facilities mentioned include Kings Bay Naval Base in Georgia, a key hub for US Navy submarines, and several major Air Force bases tied to America’s nuclear deterrent.
These include Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, home to the 2nd Bomb Wing, and Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, where the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is stationed.
US Strategic Command, which oversees nuclear deterrence and cyber defence, has also been cited, along with communications sites such as the VLF Array Lualualei in Hawaii, used to transmit orders to submerged submarines.
Cold War echoes Further locations named in past broadcasts include Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana and Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming.
These bases are all linked to intercontinental ballistic missile operations.
Russian state TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov previously went even further, referring to defunct installations such as Fort Ritchie in Maryland and McClellan Air Force Base in California, as well as Camp David, the US presidential retreat.
While the Kremlin has issued only ambiguous official nuclear threats, experts say the messaging reflects a deliberate attempt to revive Cold War-style pressure on Washington.

So not only are they telling us what we already know, they’re also telling us that their intelligence is significantly out of date.
The intended audience here is the Russian domestic one.
The TV show probably has no privileged information on war plans. The point is to create a narrative for the Russian public.
Or… that’s the impression they’re putting on public television.
Name credible and strategic sounding targets on domestic TV, while ensuring the actual targets make more sense.
Nothing these Russian equivalents of Fox or Truth Social assclowns say has any informational value at all. It doesn’t indicate real Russian plans, says nothing about what Russian intelligence knows or doesn’t know, it’s just noise.
thats why they need krasnov to give them on update details on nuclear capabilities, nuke subs placements etc.
Damn the cold war is back, but this time Hollywood sucks now so we probably won’t even get any good movies out of it.
They’ll remake Red Dawn, again.
We’re kind of in the warm up for WW3, I f we haven’t already lost.
If Russia nukes the US, how will trump blame Biden?
I was worried after he stopped making weekly nuke threats for a while there. Glad were back on track.
Me to Putin: Do it pussy, you won’t.
Guessing these are the documents Trump stole and tried to hide in Mar a Lago
San Diego didn’t make the list? I dunno if I should be relieved or insulted!
Oh look, nuclear sabre rattling again.
I bet /c/noncredibledefense could come up with a better list of first-strike targets as a joke
ooo the Pentagon. How original
I’m always comforted in knowing that I’m completely bracketed by major targets and won’t die in the fire but instead by the fallout.
Probably not. Nuclear fallout loses 80% of its effectiveness after 24 hours.
If you can find a building to avoid the initial blast, stay inside for a day and then leave the area while wearing something to filter the air. Get rid of the clothes you wore and you have a very good chance of not getting sick or dying.
Sure buddy, just avoid eating or drinking anything for the next 200 years.
The regime as a media troll. FUD for us, laughs for them. And their people gobble it up.
At least that’s the intent - the fediverse is not FUDed at all, and I wonder how many Russians see through the simplicity and obviousness of the charade. Probably more than we think, but what can they do about it.
Who’d have thought we’d get a Soviet Union 2.0.
Who’d have thought we’d get a Soviet Union 2.0.
Putin’s worse than any Soviet leader except Stalin.
We need to advertise Free Trump-Signed Bibles in all of those states.
Free? He’s not gonna just give them away
Nonsense. The taxpayers will pay for it.
But it’ll be blamed on the Dems wanting food stamps or something.
Well that’s an odd thing for America to be completely oblivious about.
I agree this is usually Putin’s way of flexing, but it still seems a little weird not to get a heads up.
