Ukraine-Russia War - @LeMonde reports "Russia wants to deploy a new hypersonic missile against Ukraine - new Zircon hypersonic missiles will enter service in January - with range of "around 1,000 kilometres" on Russian frigates (621 miles)
"Vladimir Putin promised on Wednesday that the new Zircon hypersonic missiles will enter service in January, aboard the Admiral-Gorchkov frigate . With a range of around 1,000 kilometres, these cruise missiles, whose name comes from a mineral used in jewelry, belong to a family of new weapons that the Kremlin says are “ invincible” . The first tests of this model were carried out in October 2020. The president then hailed a “great event” . Others have since taken place , notably from the Admiral-Gorchkov and a submerged submarine, in the Russian Arctic."
"The Russian army already uses other types of hypersonic weapons:"
"--- Avangard ("vanguard" in Russian): these hypersonic gliders capable of carrying conventional or nuclear loads could change course and altitude at very high speed, which would make them "virtually invincible", according to Mr. Putin, who compares the scientific and military breakthrough achieved by their development "to the creation of the first artificial satellite of the Earth" , the famous Sputnik. They were successfully tested in December 2018; their speed then reached twenty-seven times the speed of sound. They hit a target about 6,000 kilometers away, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. They were put into service in December 2019."
"--- Kinjal ("dagger" in Russian): this type of missile, very maneuverable, defies anti-aircraft defense systems, according to Moscow. During the tests, they hit all their targets at a distance of up to 2,000 kilometres. They equip Mig-31 war planes. Their use in Ukraine is a world first for hypersonic weaponry, experts say."
"--- Sarmat: This fifth-generation intercontinental ballistic missile, named after a nomadic people from the southern Russian steppes, is supposed to evade missile defenses. Weighing over 200 tonnes, it outperforms its predecessor – the Voevoda missile, with a range of 11,000 kilometers – and “has virtually no range limits” , according to Mr Putin, who the judge able to “aim at targets by flying over the North Pole as well as the South Pole” ."

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu presided over a Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) Collegium in Moscow on December 21 and made significant statements pertaining to Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine and the strategic direction of the Russian military.
The Kremlin intensified its information operation accusing NATO expansion of presenting a military threat to Russia.
Shoigu stated that NATO’s military expansion near Russian borders, including Finland’s and Sweden’s NATO membership aspirations, necessitates an "appropriate" Russian response to establish a Russian force group in northwestern Russia. Senior Kremlin officials said that the accession of the Nordic states to NATO would not threaten Russia in spring 2022. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Finland and Sweden joining NATO would not present an existential threat to Russia in April 2022 and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Finland and Sweden joining NATO would not make "much difference" in May 2022.
Shoigu publicly presented a series of proposed Russian defense policy changes to significantly increase the size of the Russian military. Shoigu proposed that Russia reestablish the Moscow and Leningrad military districts, form a new army corps, and form 17 new maneuver divisions. Shoigu suggested that Russia form a new army corps in Karelia, two new airborne assault divisions, three new motorized rifle divisions in occupied Kherson and Zaporizhia oblasts, and expand seven existing brigades of the Northern Fleet and Western, Central, and Eastern Military districts into seven new motorized rifle divisions while expanding five existing naval infantry brigades into five naval infantry divisions. Shoigu also proposed that Russia form five artillery divisions to support military districts.
He proposed increasing the strength of the Russian Armed Forces to 1.5 million servicemen, including 695,000 contract servicemen (Shoigu said in spring 2021 that 380,000 Russians were contract servicemen), gradually increasing the age of conscription for military service from 18 to 21 years and raising the age limit for conscripts from 27 to 30 years. Shoigu did not specify a timeline for these measures.
