While Russia has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, with nearly 6,000 warheads, the UK has its own weaponry that could help deter the Russian threat. Currently, Britain has a stockpile of 195 warheads, but it plans to boost this to up to 260 at a maximum cap in what would be the first increase since the Cold War. This comes as Putin sent a horror warning to the West by putting his nuclear forces on “high alert”.

And a Russian MP has even warned Prime Minister warned Boris Johnson that the UK is now a “prime target” for Moscow given London’s unwavering military and political support for Kyiv.

The Russian lawmaker said last week: “Great Britain is a prime target for that (nuclear strike). It is an island nation, which would minimise the damage to the continent.”

Putin has also been unveiling some terrifying weapons that could cause chaos in the West, such as the “Satan 2”, which was test-fired earlier this month.

But the UK has some mighty weapons of its own.

Made by US company Lockheed Martin, these weapons are a three-stage, solid-fuel, inertially-guided missiles with a range of 4,000 nautical miles.

Each Vanguard submarine can carry up to eight of these missiles at one time.

According to the Government, the Royal Navy has kept a continuous at-sea deterrence since 1969.

This involves one nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine patrolling the seas undetected at all times.

Britain also plans to put four new submarines into action to replace the Vanguard submarines.

The Dreadnought Class submarines are built and designed in the UK, and are said to be some of the most advanced machines ever built.

In March 2021, the UK Government announced it would increase its number of warheads by 40 percent.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said that the plan to boost Britain’s nuclear stockpile would be “the ultimate insurance policy against the worst threat from hostile states”.

Defence Minister Ben Wallace has said that the move was a response to what “the Russians and others have been up to in the last few years,” making note of Russian investments in ballistic missile programmes.

But Mr Wallace has said that he does “not think” Russia will use nuclear weapons, despite Putin putting his forces on “high alert”.

Putin has also said that “if someone intends to intervene in the ongoing events from the outside and create strategic threats for Russia that are unacceptable to us, they should know that our retaliatory strikes will be lightning-fast”.
