PUTIN’S crony has listed seven key targets – including a Kent town – that could be struck by Vlad’s nukes in a chilling threat.
The MP and television propagandist also claimed Russia needs just three missiles to “collapse British society”.

Yevgeny Popov raged against American plans to deploy SM-6 surface-to-air and Tomahawk cruise missiles as well as hypersonic weapons under development in Germany.
He elaborated on Kremlin warnings by listing UK targets of Russian nuclear attacks.
Popov on Putin-controlled Russia state TV listed seven specific targets in England and Scotland, while also stressing “all European capitals are at risk”, blaming the planned US deployment in Germany.
He warned: “Special attention to Britain, our traditional enemy, as a significant part of the [Russian] Northern Fleet will work against [the UK].
“Under attack Washington has put not only London, but also Manchester, Birmingham, the largest naval base Devonport, the Clyde in Scotland, where the King stores his Trident nuclear missiles, Portsmouth as well as Chatham Dockyard in the county of Kent.
“This is Britain at its most vulnerable.
“Basically, all it would take is three missiles and this civilisation would collapse.”
The MP and propagandist said Russian cities were at risk directly as a result of the US decision from 2025 to station SM-6, Tomahawk and “hypersonic weapons under development”.
“The Pentagon will deploy missiles in Germany that pose a direct threat to Russia, reaching St Petersburg, Kazan, Moscow, Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg,” he said, listing major Russian cities.

But he threatened: “It is not difficult to guess the geography of the response if White House [plans] become a reality.
“All European capitals are at risk [from] our missiles in Kaliningrad – Berlin, Warsaw, all the Baltic republics, Paris, Bucharest, Prague….
“Of course, also the American bases in Germany….Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Patch Barracks [Stuttgart], Spangdahlem, [and] Ramstein.”
He accused the “Western bloc” of misreading the impact on Russia of the US move, highlighted at the recent NATO summit in the US.
“No reaction, no reflection and no attempt to analyse the implications,” he said.
“A quick study of the missiles’ specifications is enough to realise that the US is throwing Europe into the crucible of a world war with guaranteed mutual destruction.”
Mad Vlad also vowed to “target” European capitals in a furious tirade as the US seeks to deploy hypersonic missiles to Germany.
The Cold War-style standoff could spark WW3 as Russia tries to bully the West into backing down.
Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier warned: “The United States has deployed different kinds of missiles, of different ranges, but traditionally aimed at our country.
“Our country, accordingly, used these European points as targets for our missiles.
“And here is a paradoxical situation.
“America continues to make money, Europe is in the crosshairs of our missiles, our country is in the crosshairs of American missiles in Europe.
“We have been through all this before, it has all happened before.
“We have enough potential to deter these missiles. But the potential victim is the capitals of these states.”
Missiles have become an increasingly important part of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with the Kremlin targeting Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
Britain has also supplied missiles to Ukraine, saying it would be up to Kyiv how it used the UK-supplied weapons.
Storm Shadow missiles have been used by the war-torn nation to bomb inside Russian controlled areas of Ukraine, but not Russia itself yet.
On a May trip to the country, Lord Cameron said: “In terms of what the Ukrainians do, in our view, it is their decision about how to use these weapons.
“They’re defending their country, they were illegally invaded by Putin and they must take those steps.”
