Putin Prepares for World War III: Russian Ally Plans to Build and Destroy Replicas of Global Landmarks in Nuclear Tests

A Putin ally reportedly has proposed a plan to build replicas of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the White House in the Arctic, only to blow them up with nuclear weapons.

The scheme, devised by Russian propagandist Alexei Mikhailov, is intended as a show of force against the West in response to Britain supplying arms to Ukraine.

Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Political-Military Analysis, revealed the bizarre plan on Russian state TV, outlining his vision to construct these plywood replicas on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago — a location historically used by the Soviet Union for nuclear tests.

He then wants to launch a Bulava missile from a submarine in the Atlantic to obliterate the mock cities, broadcasting the destruction online as a warning to the West to cease its support for Ukraine, The Sun reported.

During the broadcast, Mikhailov ranted about the West's intentions, stating, "The Anglo-Saxons want a big continental war — they really do."

He accused Britain of plotting to directly engage in conflict with Russia by providing long-range precision weapons to Ukraine.

Mikhailov's plan involves constructing plywood versions of London, complete with Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, as well as a replica of Washington, D.C., centered around the White House.

He suggested that the models be hit with "more than 150 kilotons of TNT equivalent," to demonstrate the potential devastation that could be inflicted on the actual cities with just a single warhead from the Bulava missile.

Though TV host Vladimir Solovyov expressed skepticism about the feasibility of building the replicas, Mikhailov insisted that "thousands of migrants, who now do not want to leave our country, will erect the City Centre out of plywood."

He added, "Buckingham Palace and Big Ben will go up in blue flames and fly so beautifully that the world will be horrified."

The Bulava missile, which became operational earlier this year, is a key component of Russia's nuclear arsenal. The 40-foot intercontinental ballistic missile has an estimated range of 5,160 miles and can carry six to ten individually guided nuclear warheads capable of striking multiple targets.

Novaya Zemlya, notorious as a Soviet nuclear test area during the Cold War, was the site of the Tsar Bomba test in 1961 — the most powerful nuclear explosion ever recorded, which sent shockwaves around the globe and produced a mushroom cloud that soared more than 37 miles into the atmosphere.

Mikhailov's proposal has been widely condemned as reckless and provocative, yet it underscores the heightened tensions between Russia and the West amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
