Russian TV simulates nuke attack off coast of Ireland that would turn country into 'radioactive desert'

Russia state TV has simulated another nuclear weapon attack - this time one that would turn Ireland into a "radioactive desert".

The horrifying report came from Russian TV anchor Dmitry Kiselyov and showed an underwater missile being set off just off the coast of Donegal.

Putin's puppets say it would destroy the "British Isles" but at no point mention Ireland, despite maps showing we would be hit first by the weapon.

The host explains: "Another option is to plunge Britain into the depths of sea using Russia's unmanned underwater vehicle Poisedon.

"It approaches its target at a depth of 1km at a speed of 200km/h. There's no way of stopping this underwater drone. The warhead on it has a yield of up to 100 megatonnes.

"The explosion of this thermonuclear torpedo by Britain's coastline will cause a gigantic tsunami wave up to 500m high.

"Such a barrage alone also carries extreme doses of radiation. Having passed over the British Isles, it will turn what might be left of them into a radioactive desert"

Before this, Dmitry Kiselyov, dubbed the tyrant’s propagandist-in-chief, told Russian state TV the Kremlin would first strike with its hypersonic missile known as Satan-2.

The Poseidon - being readied for service - is described as a giant nuclear-capable torpedo.

Details of its high-speed 125 mph underwater propulsion system of the atomic powered underwater drone are regarded as top secret.

Putin has boasted that it has an “unlimited range”, and said three years ago: “Work is going according to plan.”

Dmitry Rogozin, head of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency, said last week about the UK: “Boris, if Sarmat is used, none of you will consult with each other.

“And there will be no one to style your hair, Mr. Prime Minister.”
