A terrifying new simulation shows the catastrophic impact of a potential Russian nuclear strike on the UK.
It reveals mass casualties, destroyed cities, and nationwide panic.
The scenario warns how unprepared the UK might be in such an attack.
Leaked reports revealed Russia marked 32 potential nuclear targets across Europe.
Three key UK locations—Cumbria, Hull, and Rosyth—appear on that list.
This revelation adds fresh urgency to the UK’s strategic defence planning.
A simulation by Visualiser 3D on YouTube shows a nightmare scenario:
Russia launches a full-scale nuclear assault on the UK.
The simulation begins with “Stage One”—Initiation.
Russia fires around 60 tactical nuclear warheads to cripple UK military defenses.
The warheads would hit in 15 to 20 minutes, leaving almost no time to react.
Within two hours, nearly one million people in the UK and Russia would die.
In Stage Two, Putin’s forces shift focus to civilians.
They strike major cities like London and key industrial zones.
This phase alone could kill 50 million people.
The goal: prevent any chance of nuclear retaliation.
Stage Three shows the aftermath—nuclear fallout.
A green mist spreads radiation across land and sea.
It causes mass death, radiation sickness, and ecological destruction.
The video warns this war would destroy two foundations of global prosperity.
It would trigger starvation, crisis, war, and revolution.
Fatalities could reach 500 million worldwide.
There’s no solid proof of an imminent strike, but UK defence experts aren’t ignoring the threat.
Air Commodore Blythe Crawford, former head of the UK’s Air and Space Warfare Centre, shared a warning.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the UK ran its own simulation using a “synthetic environment.”
“As you can imagine, it was not a pretty picture,” he said. “It reinforced the fact that we really need to get after this.”
In response to growing threats, the UK is boosting its nuclear deterrence.
For the first time since the Cold War, Britain may arm jets with nuclear weapons.
As part of a strategic defence review, Defence Secretary John Healey and Admiral Sir Tony Radakin are in talks with US officials.
They want aircraft capable of deploying tactical nuclear gravity bombs, The Times reports.
These new systems would support the UK’s sea-based deterrent by adding air-based strike options.
The American-built F-35A Lightning stealth jets—recently acquired by Germany—are top contenders.
They have a 900-mile range and can carry a B61 thermonuclear bomb.
“The world is definitely becoming more dangerous. Nuclear risks are rising,” Healey said.
“For the first time since the Cold War, we face seriously increasing risks of state-on-state conflict.”
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says it’s time to “transform how we defend these islands.”
“We’ll meet this moment head on,” he added,
“with a response not seen before in most of our lifetimes.”
He declared war-fighting readiness the core mission of the Armed Forces.
“We face direct threats from states with advanced militaries,” he warned.
“So we must be ready to fight and win.
The best way to prevent war is to prepare for it.”
As part of this strategy, the UK will invest over $2 billion (£1.5bn) in six new munitions factories.
The move will create or support nearly 2,000 jobs and shift production to wartime levels.
The goal: hit three percent of GDP in defence spending by 2034
and ensure the UK is never caught off guard.
