Al-Marsad Newspaper – Agencies: Amid escalating tensions between Moscow and the West once morest the backdrop of the latter’s war with Ukraine, a television program broadcast on a Russian state station showed a visual simulation of nuclear strikes on 3 European capitals, stressing that “no one will survive” from them.
In the “60 Minutes” program shown on Russian Channel One, the audience said that London, Paris and Berlin might be hit by missiles carrying nuclear warheads.
According to “Sky News”, one of the guests, the head of the Russian nationalist Rodina party Alexei Zuravliov, raised the idea of Russia launching nuclear weapons on Britain, insisting that he was “speaking seriously”, in response to statements made by British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, in which he supported the Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure.
While another guest said that Britain, too, had nuclear weapons, and that “no one would survive this war,” the program displayed a map indicating the possibility of launching missiles from Kaliningrad, the Russian enclave between Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic Sea, towards the capitals of Britain, France and Germany.
Comments indicated that these missiles might reach London in 202 seconds, Paris in 200 seconds, and Berlin in 106 seconds.
In response to Western support for Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a few days ago the test of the Sarmat missile, boasting of its hypersonic speed, saying that it might “penetrate all modern defenses.”
This comes as former NATO chief Richard Sheriff warned that the West should “prepare for a worst-case scenario” with Russia.
