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.
Yeah but there will be a ton of it around me. I’m about 20 miles from camp David, 20 miles from Raven Rock, 40 miles from dc, and 40 miles from ft meade. And Raven Rock and camp David will both be surface bursts and produce a shit ton of it.
I mean damn, at least you know you’re gonna have a chance to become an atmospheric storytelling skeleton or blast shadow, but that’s some bad damn luck.
