A terrifying new map reveals what kind of damage the UK could suffer as Vladimir Putin's closest advisors urge him to use nuclear weapons against the UK - starting with the British elite. Vladimir Putin has been warned by his opponents to launch nuclear weapons across the entire UK - a new map accurately shows where he wants to strike.
These shocking plans were proposed by 73-year-old advisor Sergei Karaganov, known as the "Apocalypse Professor." As the honorary chairman of the Russian Council for Foreign and Defense Policy, he has the authority to advocate for strict strategies to avoid any conflict between the US and Russia.
Meanwhile, TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyev also strongly advocated for a nuclear strike, in a TV clip he laughed and called for bombing Oxford and Cambridge to eliminate the British elite and their universities. He said, "Seriously, we have never analyzed this issue. We cannot seriously believe that this group of people pretending to be the prime minister, who actually hold power there, are in charge."
We are very clear that the monarchy should not be allowed within the range of cannonballs feeding birds. Although it seems unlikely that Russians would launch a nuclear war against the UK, it is interesting to imagine what threat such a threat would pose to its towns.
NuclearSecrecy.com has a tool called "Nuclear Weapons Map," which is dedicated to fair estimates of the damage caused by nuclear weapons. The website was created by Alex Wellerstein, a professor of science and nuclear weapons at Stevens Institute of Technology, and provides different tools, including an 80-megaton nuclear weapon, which we know is currently in Russia's arsenal.
According to predictions, if it falls over Cambridge, the result would be catastrophic. This nuclear fireball would continue to cover an area of 2.97 square kilometers, which includes the Granchester suburb, the Milton suburb, and the Titchfield suburb, as well as the main campus of the University of Cambridge.
"The maximum size of the nuclear fireball; the correlation with ground damage depends on the height of the explosion," the nuclear bomb map claims. "If it touches the ground, the amount of radioactive fallout will increase significantly. Anything inside the fireball will be effectively vaporized."
The second area is the "medium blast destruction radius," covering 134 square kilometers, where buildings will begin to collapse and fires will start. The map explains, "At a pressure of 5 pounds per square inch, most residential buildings will collapse, and injuries are common, and deaths are common."
There is a high probability of fires in commercial and residential buildings, and buildings that are severely damaged are highly susceptible to fire spread. This is often used as a benchmark for moderate destruction in cities." Further away from the impact point is the third area, covering 384 square kilometers. The situation in this area will not be easy either, according to the nuclear bomb map.
It states above, "Third-degree burns penetrate all layers of the skin and are often painless because they destroy the sensory nerves. Third-degree burns can lead to severe scarring or disability, and may even require amputation."
The remaining areas on the edge of Cambridge will be the light blast injury radius. This could still cause injuries to crowds, as they might walk to the windows after seeing the flash explosion, since their speed is faster than the pressure wave.
According to the map's prediction, Oxford would have similar results, with the inner area being immediately vaporized, which includes the famous main campus of the University of Oxford. The damage would extend to Woodstock and Bicester.
Despite this, the UK government's website emphasizes that its nuclear deterrent force will prevent such damage. It says, "The UK's independent nuclear deterrent has existed for over 60 years to deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life, helping to safeguard our and NATO allies' security."
Sometimes it may feel that these threats are far removed from our daily lives, but the UK must have the ability to protect itself and our NATO allies. Deterrence plays a key role in protecting public safety, and abandoning nuclear deterrence would expose us all to greater risks.
"Since April 1969, the Royal Navy has maintained a continuous maritime deterrent, with at least one nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine on patrol at sea, always undetected, ready to deal with the most extreme threats facing the UK. Their fundamental purpose is to maintain peace, prevent coercion, and deter aggression."
"This continuous maritime deterrent (CASD) is the most capable, resilient, and cost-effective platform for deploying our independent nuclear deterrent force."
