A Russian meteorologist has predicted “favorable” circumstances for a potential nuclear strike on a town in the UK. Yevgeny Tishkovets, known for incorporating forecasts of attacks against Britain and Europe into his state television weather reports, recently suggested 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 current wind pattern supported the use of various weapons, including low-yield nuclear ones. He highlighted the east-west flow of wind in the lower troposphere at specific altitudes, indicating ideal conditions for such actions.
Having served in the Russian military for two decades, Tishkovets enthusiastically informed his audience that the weather conditions would enhance radiation dispersion over Europe. He emphasized that any fallout from a nuclear explosion, along with associated elements like clouds, would be directed towards European countries due to the prevailing wind patterns.
Furthermore, Tishkovets criticized recent Ukrainian strikes using British-French cruise missiles on Bryansk, a city near Russia’s border. These strikes severely impacted Russia’s military capabilities by damaging a critical microelectronics plant responsible for supplying components for numerous Russian missiles.
Expressing his discontent, the pro-Putin weatherman called for retaliatory missile strikes to target factories in Western countries. Specifically mentioning locations like the MBDA’s headquarters in Le Plessis-Robinson, France, and Farnborough in England, where stealth long-range missiles are manufactured, he urged for the destruction of personnel in these facilities.
Tishkovets, aged 51, made these controversial statements on the Solovyov LiveTV channel, known for its propagandist content and owned by Vladimir Solovyov, a prominent Putin supporter. The channel took over Euronews’ frequencies in April 2022 following the commencement of Putin’s military actions in Ukraine.
Solovyov, a fervent Putin loyalist and highly paid Kremlin mouthpiece in Russian media, chose to educate some of his children in Britain despite his ties to the Russian government.
