Russia issues chilling nuclear WW3 threat to Brits – 'the time will come'
Major-General Nikolay Plotnikov was speaking on Russian state TV claiming that the success of Ukraine's missile and drone strikes was due to targeting data supplied by the UK Britain should be Russia's number one target if World War Three kicks off due to our success in thwarting Vladimir Putin 's invasion of Ukraine, a general has claimed. Reservist Major-General Nikolay Plotnikov was speaking on Russian state TV claiming that the success of Ukraine's missile and drone strikes was due to targeting data supplied by the UK. He claimed this intervention meant Brits were a legitimate target in any forthcoming war. Mr Plotnikov holds a succession of British prime ministers responsible for helping to stop Putin's bid to take over Ukraine - including Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, as well as Rishi Sunak and now Sir Keir Starmer. He even wants Russian law enforcement to open criminal cases against the British politicians. Tank commander general Plotnikov told Russian TV: 'The British are inputting data into [Ukraine's] missile control units. This tandem [Britain and France] is responsible for the massive drone strike on Russia on 7 May.' On that day, Russia claimed it had intercepted 524 drones, but others evidently evaded air defences and struck military targets. Russian sources claimed five Neptune missiles, six JDAM bombs and two HIMARS rockets were also downed. Mr Plotnikov added: 'That's why there are already so many criminal cases piling up against Macron and all the UK prime ministers. They should all be put in the dock. And Liz Truss. 'And that shaggy-haired….[Boris] Johnson and all the rest of them. Because what the British and French intelligence services and military are doing has caused a lot of damage to our people, a lot of people have died.' TV host and Putin's leading TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyov demanded a strike on Britain with Poseidon high speed atomic underwater drones - or Sarmat, the Satan-2, giant 208-ton intercontinental silo-launched 15,880mph nuclear weapon, the size of a 14-storey tower block. 'It will be possible to do that,' said the general. 'The time will come, I think the time will come, yes.' Mr Solovyov - whose propaganda themes are choreographed by the Kremlin which pays for his TV show - said he would deploy both Poseidon and Sarmat. The demands are the latest from Putin's deluded evangelists that Britain is to blame for their woes in a war where they have failed in the aim of fully invading Ukraine.
