London will be the first strategic Nato target to be hit by Russian missiles should a third World War erupt, a close ally of president Vladimir Putin has claimed.
A close political ally of Vladimir Putin has warned London “will be bombed first” if World War 3 breaks out.
MP Andrey Gurulyov, a member of the Russian parliament’s defence committee, made the threat to Britain on the state-run Rossiya 1 channel.
“We’ll destroy the entire group of enemy’s space satellites during the first air operation,” he said.
“Second, we’ll mitigate the entire system of anti-missile defence, everywhere and 100 per cent. Third, we certainly won’t start from Warsaw, Paris or Berlin. The first to be hit will be London.”

“No one will care if they are American or British; we would see them all as Nato.
“Second, we’ll mitigate the entire system of anti-missile defence, everywhere and 100 per cent. Third, we certainly won’t start from Warsaw, Paris or Berlin. The first to be hit will be London.
