Putin TV Channel Simulates Devastating Nuclear Strike On London
With the release of video of a stimulated devastating nuclear strike on London, Vladimir Putin drove home the reality of his threat to the United Kingdom.
The simulation was done by a Pro-Putin TV channel, and it shows a city being wiped out in fireball that would ‘instantly vaporise’ hundreds of thousands.
Broadcasting the four minute video of the deployment which caused 850,000 deaths with two million injured is considered a bold statement.by the Russian leader.
It had an English commentary and appears to be the latest move in a concerted campaign to scare Britain from giving permission to Ukraine to allow Storm Shadow missiles to hit targets inside Russia, according to mailonline..
Vladimir Putin’s propagandists and entourage have repeatedly warned that he could use nuclear weapons.
The video shown on Tsargrad’s Telegram channel begins by threatening: ‘Imagine for a moment that the unimaginable happens.

‘A nuclear weapon explodes over London. In this documentary, we explore the devastating consequences of this catastrophe.
‘In the simulation, we will use a warhead with a yield of 750 kilotons. That’s a pretty powerful charge.’

The commentary warns viewers: ‘Upon detonation, a fireball as hot as the sun rapidly expands, reaching a radius of 950 metres’
‘Anything trapped inside this fireball is instantly vaporised.
‘In our simulation, the epicentre of the explosion is at Westminster.

‘People within that radius won’t even feel anything because the nerve impulse transmission speed is slower.
‘Within 5 km [3 miles] of the epicentre the blast radius city of London, Camden town, Kensington, Brixton these areas will receive the most destruction.’
‘Buildings will be destroyed and debris will fill the streets, creating extremely dangerous conditions for everyone in the vicinity.
‘Given the population density in central London, the initial death toll could exceed 250,000 people and around 600,000 injured within a radius of 10 km [6.25 miles] the radiation will cause third degree burns.
‘Within that radius anything that can burn will catch fire.

‘Explosive facilities will explode and amplify the effect of the devastation over a huge area, including areas from Camden to Greenwich and Islington to Wandsworth.’
The video claims that ‘according to various estimates, a further 450,000 people will die from burns, debris, injuries or radiation sickness, and over a million will be traumatised.
‘Many of these injuries could prove fatal over the next days and weeks.
‘Radiation sickness in particular will take lives days and weeks later.
‘In time, about 100,000 more will be added to the death toll.’
The video was originally published around three months ago, but was now highlighted by Tsargrad.
It goes on: ‘Within an 18 km [11 mile] radius of the blast, the shockwave will be enough to shatter windows, causing additional casualties to people who come to the windows when they see the nuclear blast.

‘The shockwave will reach Hounslow, Edgware and Enfield.
‘Depending on the wind, the fallout could spread well beyond the immediate blast zone, potentially affecting areas up to five to 10 km away, causing damage even in regions such as Essex or Surrey.

‘The estimated casualties in the event of a 750 kiloton nuclear bomb exploding in London would be about 850,000 people dead and about 2 million injured.
‘If the explosion were to occur on the ground rather than in the air, the fallout map would be greatly expanded and the radioactive fallout could even reach Manchester, infecting people, land and animals”, the mailone reported..
