An expert has warned that should Russia launch a nuclear weapon on NATO then “45 million” Russians will be “vaporised” within an hour.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine Vladimir Putin and his cronies have been threatening to use nuclear weapons on the West.

Jake Broe, a former Nuclear & Missile Operations Officer in the US Air Force said that perhaps Russians should “stop supporting Putin.”

Broe wrote on X, “If Russia uses a nuclear weapon against a NATO country, then this is what will happen to Russia in response.

“About 45 million Russians will be vaporised in the first hour. Not much of a life remaining for the other 100 million.

“Maybe the people of Russia should stop supporting Putin and de-escalate the conflict?”

This week Putin said that he believes the West are threatening Russia’s sovereignty and warned that nuclear weapons “exist in order to use them.”

In an interview with propagandist Dmitry Kiselyov for Rossiya-1 TV that was released on Wednesday morning the Russian despot said Moscow is “ready” from “a military-technical point of view” in the event of any threat to national security.

Putin again warned of a potential nuclear war with the West, he said, “From a military-technical point of view, we are, of course, ready.

“Weapons exist in order to use them.

“We have our own principles.”

In February Putin’s ally Dmitry Medvedev warned that the Kremlin are ready to release their “entire arsenal” of weapons and nuclear missiles at the US, UK, Germany and Ukraine if Russia loses the war.

Medvedev said, “Attempts to return Russia to the borders of 1991 will lead to only one thing.

“Towards a global war with Western countries using the entire strategic arsenal of our state.

“In Kyiv, Berlin, London, Washington.”

Expert Dr Stephen Hall, from the Henry Jackson Society said that Putin being re-elected will trigger an “escalation in the aggression against Ukraine and the West.”

Dr Hall told The Sun, “There is a possibility that he would use a small nuclear weapon that would take out a block out of Kyiv or Kharkiv.

“For Putin, this is existential. He won’t settle for a frozen conflict, there is going to be Russian antipathy towards Ukraine as long as Putin remains in power.”
