Putin propagandists name for UK to be sunk beneath radioactive tsunami
Putin propagandists call for Britain to be sunk beneath a radioactive tsunami with its Poseidon ‘superweapon’.
Russian hardline MP Andrei Gurulev sneered ‘swim, swim, swim’ as he demanded the use of Moscow‘s unique Poseidon high-speed underwater atomic drone on Britain.
Kremlin propaganda TV on Rossiya-1 channel demanded a ‘critical threat’ from Putin to stop Britain, the US and other Western countries giving permission to Ukraine to use long-range missiles for strikes on Russian territory.
‘There is, of course, a more radical option,’ said Lt-Gen Gurulev, a former tank commander and military strategist. ‘The people of Britain are there, they also want to live a good and happy life at our expense, right?
‘But if there is no Britain, there is no problem.’
This comes as the UK agreed to supply Ukraine with another 650 lightweight multi-role missiles worth £162million to help protect the country from Russian drones and bombing.

Russia last week unleashed its largest air attack on Ukraine since the full-scale war began early in 2022. Ukraine has made repeated requests for more air defence support to defend itself from missile and drone attacks.
The new supply of missiles was announced as British defence minister John Healey attended the Ukraine Defence Contact Group, an ad-hoc coalition of some 50 nations, at a U.S. air base in Germany.
The Ministry of Defence said, in keeping with the new government’s commitment to speed deliveries of aid to Ukraine, the first batch of missiles announced on Friday were expected to arrive by the end of the year.
‘This new commitment will give an important boost to Ukraine’s air defences,’ Healey said in a statement.
The Ministry of Defence said the missiles made by Thales have a range of more than 3.73 miles and can be fired from a variety of platforms on land, sea, and air.
Last Monday, Russia fired more than 200 missiles and drones at Ukraine, killing seven people and striking energy facilities nationwide in what Kyiv called the war’s ‘most massive’ attack.
As Ukraine is receiving another delivery of missiles from the UK, British-loathing Gurulev told viewers across Russia’s 11 time zones: ‘Clearly, without using our strategic nuclear forces, we have enough non-strategic [tactical] nuclear weapons, which will [be launched] and leave nothing of Britain – a normal pre-emptive strike.’
He claimed the US would not respond with strategic missiles because it would be afraid of Russia doing the same.
He asked: ‘Do you think we’ll get a response? From who? Britain is done. Against the United States [we have our] Strategic Missile Forces, our long-range aviation and our navy…’
And leading Putin propagandist TV host Vladimir Solovyev asked him whether to warn Britain of a nuclear strike should it supply missiles to Ukraine

And leading Putin propagandist TV host Vladimir Solovyev asked him: ‘So you are suggesting that we warn the British that if they supply [long-range missiles to Ukraine] and give the go-ahead to use [them], then we strike?’
But Gurulev said Russia needed a ‘different’ approach – involving the preemptive use of Poseidon.
The reservist general and military propagandist said: ‘We understand what we’re talking about, right? And then somewhere they [Britain] will no longer exist.’
Solovyov asked: ‘[So] there’s a tsunami?’ Gurulev replied: ‘Here we are. Yes, yes, yes.
‘[High-speed underwater nuclear drone] Poseidon [hits] with a four-way slam – and that’s it.’
Solovyov suggested: ‘But first we’ll give three days for the British to leave their island.’ Gurulev replied, laughing: ‘Swim, swim, swim.’
Poseidon – so far not used – is an unmanned nuclear-powered underwater drone with an ‘unlimited range’. Putin sees it as part of his new nuclear arsenal and classifies it a ‘superweapon’.
It is designed to carry strategic nuclear warheads of up to 100 megatons and could unleash catastrophic destruction. It could also be deployed with lesser firepower as a tactical weapon.
Some reports say its underwater speed is up to 115mph, with a capability to operate at depths below 3,000ft. It is due to be ready soon but details of tests remain classified.
The weapon could be unleashed from Russian submarines such as the Belgorod.
It is seen as a weapon without comparison in the world, a hybrid between a nuclear missile and a submarine.
