A senior Russian politician has threatened military action against the United Kingdom. Sergei Mironov, head of the “Just Russia” party, called for a strike using a medium-range ballistic missile, the Orešnik, targeting a drone factory in Britain. This threat, reported by the state-owned TASS news agency, follows reports of Ukraine deploying British-made drones within Russian territory. Mironov's statement escalates tensions significantly between Russia and the UK. The call for a missile strike is a direct response to the perceived escalation by Ukraine, enabled by British weaponry. This incident underscores the increasing risks of direct confrontation as the conflict in Ukraine continues and expands in scope. The Kremlin has not officially commented on Mironov’s statement.
