RUSSIA plans to destroy Britain and France’s nuclear powers in just one day if WW3 unfolds, a pro-Kremlin propagandist has warned.<\/p>\n
Dr Yuri Baranchik has ranted about “Operation Unthinkable”, a plan to be used if Putin’s war in Ukraine<\/a> descends into global conflict.<\/p>\n Baranchik, who works for the pro-Putin Moscow<\/a> RUSSTRAT Institute, said Russian forces would “eliminate the nuclear potentials of Britain and France<\/a>“.<\/p>\n This would weaken Europe<\/a> significantly within just 24 hours of a nuclear WW3 – targeting Britain and France<\/a>‘s nuke submarines and warheads.<\/p>\n Designed to “pull out the nuclear teeth of Britain and France”, Baranchik says it would seriously damage Nato<\/a>‘s nuclear power<\/a>.<\/p>\n He boasted on Telegram: \u201cInstead of a protracted war of attrition, in one day we deprive France and Britain of their nuclear weapons<\/a> and destroy the whole of Europe.<\/p>\n \u201cWe deprive them of their status as nuclear powers and radically change the entire security system in Europe.”<\/p>\n France is one of the five “Nuclear Weapons States” with what is thought to be a stockpile of around 300 nuclear warheads<\/a>.<\/p>\n It is also home to six nuclear submarines – including the 99-metre “Suffren”.<\/p>\n The UK is home to four nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines \u2013 HMS Vanguard, Vengeance, Victorious and Vigilant.<\/p>\n It also has a store of around 200 nuclear warheads, although this is less than China, France, Russia and the US.<\/p>\n After Russia carries out Operation Unthinkable, Baranchik warns that Putin would issue an ultimatum to the US, Nato and the EU.<\/p>\n This would urge then to stop all support for Ukraine within a day – or face the wrath of Russia’s own tactical nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cAfter the successful implementation of Operation Unthinkable, we immediately issue an ultimatum to the United States, NATO and the European Union<\/a> to cease within 24 hours military and financial support for Kyiv.<\/p>\n \u201cOtherwise, after 24 hours, we will use tactical nuclear weapons against any objects in Europe.”<\/p>\n Baranchik boasted that Britain\u2019s nuclear arsenal could be destroyed without much difficulty.<\/p>\n He warned: “If we turn to the details, we will see that depriving Britain of nuclear weapons is quite simple.<\/p>\n “Its entire nuclear potential, since 1998, has been a group of four Vanguard-class SSBNs [nuclear power submarines carrying atomic missiles] based in Faslane, Scotland.<\/p>\n “One or two underwater boats are on alert\u2026.between Greenland, Iceland and Britain, and one or two are in port for repairs and replenishment.”<\/p>\n There are members of Putin’s government who are “professionally prepared” to take them out, he claimed.<\/p>\n With France – which also has an air-to-ground tactical nuclear capability – he said it would be \u201cmore complicated\u201d but \u201cstill solvable\u201d.<\/p>\n Baranchik earlier this year\u00a0urged\u00a0an attack on a British Type 45 Destroyer after Ukraine impressively sunk Putin’s beloved Novocherkassk landing ship.<\/p>\n He wrote on Telegram: “First, a message from a Russian official blamed Britain for the sinking of the Novocherkassk large landing ship.<\/p>\n HMS Diamond.

And officially declare that Russia’s patience with the antics of the West is over. London will run to complain to the USA.”<\/p>\n The Kremlin is currently building \u00a3330,000 worth of nuclear shelters for Russia’s major cities – in case of nuclear war.<\/p>\n The KUB-M “mobile modular shelters” are designed to protect those sheltering inside for 48 hours from air shock waves and light radiation caused by a nuke explosion.<\/p>\n It protects \u201cnot only from the light radiation of a nuclear explosion, but also from radioactive contamination\u201d.<\/p>\n And Putin’s number one crony, deputy Dmitry Medvedev, has insisted the nuclear threats to come out of the president’s office are not empty warnings.<\/p>\n The despot’s mouthpiece said today that constant nuclear war rhetoric is \u201cnot intimidation or a nuclear bluff\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HMS-Diamond.jpg\")
