'Launch Satan nukes on Britain' rants Russian politician as state TV show time it takes for missiles to hit

A ranting Russian politician appeared on state TV to threaten Britain with nuclear war showing a staged video of Moscow’s missiles hitting the UK in just 202 seconds. The 60 Minutes programme imagined the impact of Sarmat nuclear missiles, also known as 'Satan II', being launched at Germany, France and the UK.

On the show, chairman of the Nationalist Rodina party, Aleksey Zhuravlyov, declared: "One Sarmat missile and the British Isles will be no more." The leading ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin added: "That's how you talk to them."

The television segment is the latest worsening rhetoric about Russian retaliation against the west for helping support Ukraine militarily in its defence against Putin’s bloody invasion. The war has killed tens of thousands and left millions of people's homes destroyed, reports Hull Live.
