Pro-Putin Channel Simulates Nuclear Strike on London

A pro-Putin TV channel has aired a disturbing simulation of a nuclear strike on London, predicting 850,000 deaths and two million injuries. The four-minute video, broadcast on Tsargrad's Telegram channel, visualizes the catastrophic effects of a 750 kiloton bomb detonating over Westminster, illustrating devastation across central London. The narrator describes a rapid fireball expansion, with initial casualties estimated at over 250,000 due to immediate vaporization and injuries, while additional deaths from radiation and burns could raise the toll significantly. This broadcast appears to be an attempt to intimidate the UK as it considers allowing Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles against Russian targets. The simulation has been interpreted as part of a broader Kremlin strategy to showcase nuclear capabilities amid escalating tensions. It reflects ongoing rhetoric from Russian propagandists regarding the potential use of nuclear weapons in the conflict.
