Threat of Russian missile attack on Britain is 'highest since Cold War' with fleet of Putin's rocket-laden subs and warships off Norway posing acute threat to UK mainland, report warns

Daily Mail  

The threat of a Russian missile attack on Britain is the highest since the end of the Cold War, a report has warned. Vladimir Putin's fleet of rocket-laden submarines and warships off the coast of Norway are posing an acute threat to the UK, a study by a think tank called the Council on Geostrategy has found. Russia's Northern fleet, which carries 800 cruise missiles including ones like the Kalibr capable of hitting a target more than 1,500 miles away, could be used to launch an attack on Britain, which does not have enough air defences to protect itself, according to the report. Russia's Northern fleet, which carries 800 cruise missiles including ones like the Kalibr capable of hitting a target more than 1,500 miles away, could be used to launch an attack on Britain, which does not have enough air defences to protect itself According to the Council of Geostrategy, Russia has a 'limited' amount of ballistic missiles capable of reaching the UK.
