A horrifying map shows the areas of the UK likely to be targeted by a nuclear attack from Russia.

Vladimir Putin and his cronies have repeatedly threatened to deploy their nuclear arsenal ever since the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss even claimed the Kremlin tyrant was on the verge of unleashing nuclear armageddon in Ukraine during her premiership.

She said she spent the last days of her time at Downing Street studying weather maps to see if any radiation fallout could make its way to Britain.

In an updated version of her unauthorised biography Out of the Blue, she revealed that both UK and US intelligence highlighted the threat of a possible imminent strike in October 2022.

Terrifying data previously shared by Nukemap and its sister site Missile Map, shows how a Russian nuclear attack could play out in the UK.

The map was created by historian Alex Wellerstein, who is based at Stevens Institute of Technology.

A strike on London using the Kremlin’s mega nuke the Tsar Bomba could potentially kill 5.7 million people and leave 3.4 million injured.

A similar horrific loss of life and apocalyptic destruction would felt in Birmingham.

The Midlands city could see deaths totalling 2.4 million, with the blast leaving people in Leicester, Nottingham and Stoke-on-Trent with third-degree burns.

Other cities likely to be targeted include Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester, while naval bases and airfields would also be first in line.

These would include RAF Lossiemouth, RAF Brize Norton, HMNB Portsmouth, HMNB Devonport and HMNB Faslane.

HMNB Faslane is home to the core of the Submarine Service, including the nation’s nuclear deterrent, and the new generation of hunter-killer submarines.

A recent terrifying simulation of a nuclear attack by NATO on Russia has shown that tens of millions of people would be wiped out in the motherland.

The simulation, which was shared on X by @historyinmemes, estimates that 45.3 million Russians would be killed.

It also showed that the entirety of the Russian mainland would be within range of Western nukes.
