A Russian meteorologist has predicted favorable conditions for a potential nuclear strike on a town in the UK. Yevgeny Tishkovets, known for mixing his weather forecasts with suggestions of attacks on Britain and Europe, recently recommended targeting Farnborough in Hampshire based on weather patterns.

During one of his broadcasts to viewers across Russia’s 11 time zones, Tishkovets mentioned that the wind pattern was conducive for various weapons, including low-yield nuclear ones, due to the east-west direction of the wind in the lower troposphere. He emphasized that such a strike would result in maximum radiation dispersal over European countries.

Furthermore, Tishkovets criticized recent Ukrainian attacks using British-French cruise missiles on Bryansk, a city near Russia’s border, which caused significant damage to a microelectronics plant supplying key components for Russian missiles.

Expressing his discontent, Tishkovets urged the Russian Defence Ministry to retaliate by targeting factories in Western countries, such as the headquarters of MBDA in the French commune Le Plessis-Robinson and the town of Farnborough in England, where the Storm Shadow missiles are produced.

Appearing on the Solovyov LiveTV channel, which is associated with leading Putin propagandist Vladimir Solovyov and broadcast by VGTRK – the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, Tishkovets made these controversial statements. The channel took over Euronews’ frequencies in April 2022 following the commencement of Putin’s war in Ukraine.

Solovyov, a prominent pundit decorated by Putin and a well-paid Kremlin mouthpiece, has notably sent some of his children to be educated in Britain.
