The British should “be afraid” of a strike by Russian nuclear drone, threatens Vladimir Putin’s leading TV propagandist. The Kremlin dictator this week revealed a “successful test” of the Poseidon high speed torpedo.
It is designed to carry a nuclear warhead and is powered by its one atomic reactor, with Russian experts claiming it could trigger tidal waves and lay waste to islands and coastal regions. Moscow sees the underwater nuclear drone as a crucial weapon if Putin triggers World War Three, and Russian state television has repeatedly called for its use against the UK. Kremlin-controlled state TV – which parrot Putin narratives – warned “there simply won’t be Britain” if the Poseidon is unleashed.
Millionaire Putin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov – whose children were privately educated in the UK – warned: “British, get ready….
“They’re right to be afraid. And let them be scared. There simply won’t be Britain….Let them be scared, and really scared. And let the British learn to breathe underwater…..”
The twisted Putin evangelist asked: “By the way, I wonder how long the British can stay underwater….?”
He claimed: “If we’re talking about Poseidon, then it’s clearly a doomsday weapon….”
It did not matter whether it hit an aircraft carrier “or that absolutely worthless piece of land called Britain.
“In fact, after Shakespeare, they could have been shut down.”
Russian diplomats in London and Edinburgh should be evacuated before any strike, he advocated.
“It’s crucial to simply get our diplomats out of there in time [before a nuclear strike on Britain].”
But his compatriot anti-Putin “*******s who betrayed Russia, who are hanging out in large numbers in London” should not be helped to leave.
Notorious Solovyov is one of a number of high-profile primetime TV propagandists paid vast salaries to trumpet Kremlin storylines and whip up hatred and loathing against Britain and other Western “enemies”.
Putin said of Poseidon: “For the first time, we managed not only to launch it from a carrier submarine using a launch motor, but also to start the nuclear power plant, on which this device spent a certain amount of time.”
The reactor is 100 times smaller than on a submarine, and has “minimal dimensions”, he said.
“This is a huge success,” claimed Putin. “The power of the Poseidon significantly exceeds even that of our most promising intercontinental ballistic missile, the Sarmat [aka Satan-2].”
Previously it has been claimed that Poseidon when deployed will have an underwater speed of up to 115mph, with a capability to operate at depths below 3,000 ft.
It is designed to carry strategic nuclear warheads of up to 100 megatons and could unleash catastrophic destruction.
