A Kremlin-aligned channel has reportedly issued threats to obliterate Downing Street using Vladimir Putin's Satan-2 mega-missile amid mounting fears ofnuclear escalation.
The threats targeting the British Prime Minister's residence followRussia's announcement ofa successful launchof a 208-tonne intercontinental missile. According to the Kremlin, the weapon stands as tall as a 14-storey building and delivers a yield four times greater than anything produced by the West.
Barrel of Black Caviar, another account fiercely loyal to the Kremlin, said, "Sarmat can destroy the British Prime Minister's residence." It added, "And Oreshnik can destroy NATO's residence."
The disturbing displays of Russia's missile capabilities emerged on the same day Putin showcased his latest weapons system. According to the Kremlin, it represents "the most powerful missile in the world."
To emphasise the weapon's formidable destructive capability, Putin appeared on television to highlight its explosive yield, claiming the warhead achieved a yield four times that of any Western equivalent.

Putin also asserted that the warhead travelled a distance of 21,750 miles. "It has the ability to penetrate all existing and future anti-missile defense systems," Putin said in his remarks. The Russian leader further claimed the missile system has "no counterparts in the world.
"The missile can move not only on a ballistic but also on a suborbital trajectory, which allows for a range of over 21,750 miles while doubling its accuracy and the ability to penetrate all existing and future missile defense systems," he added.
The testing also comes as the Russian leader made the ominous statement that he was planning to strikeUkrainewith a "nuclear-scale" attack.
