Russia's nuclear targets for UK were 'leaked' as general issues chilling 'number one target' WW3 threat to Brits

Russia has already selected prime locations across the UK to drop its nuclear warheads should international conflict break out, but the dossier containing them was leaked last year.

Tensions are bubbling deep inside the Russian ranks right now, with Major-General Nikolay Plotnikov revealing on national television that both Britain and France are their 'number one target' after the two nations supposedly shared data with Russia's enemies.

"The British are inputting data into [Ukraine's] missile control units. This tandem [Britain and France] is responsible for the massive drone strike on Russia on May 7," he claimed.

Per the Financial Times, between 2008 and 2014, president Vladimir Putin identified 32 key areas throughout Europe for future nuclear strikes, and these included a Hull-based factory and a shipyard in Cumbria.

The publication suggested that the Cumbria location might've been the Royal Navy's submarine shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, while the Russian warmonger was allegedly eyeing up a similar place in Edinburgh.

Although they were a decade old, experts reckon these doomy documents remain relevant due to the current state of the world.

Meanwhile, Russian law enforcement reportedly opened criminal cases against past and present UK prime ministers such as Boris Johnson, Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer, with Plotnikov commenting: "That's why there are already so many criminal cases piling up against Macron and all the UK Prime Ministers.

"They should all be put in the dock. And Liz Truss. And that shaggy-haired... Johnson and all the rest of them. Because what the British and French intelligence services and military are doing has caused a lot of damage to our people, a lot of people have died."

When TV host Vladimir Solovyov asked about a potential strike on the UK, the general replied: "It will be possible to do that. The time will come, I think the time will come, yes."

Solovyov previously flexed an equally aggressive stance on the UK and US, who'd been 'directly waging war against' Russia by engaging in the coalition of the willing initiative.

"You don't understand the main thing. We see right through your coalition of peacemakers, who are not peacemakers but basically interventionists, will be destroyed," he warned on TV.

"You have to realise that not only the frontline units you're planning to deploy on the territory of Ukraine will be destroyed, but since we can't perceive it in any other way other than the direct participation of your countries, you will feel the consequences, the likes of which you have never seen."
