A former Russian military head said in a live broadcast that he would carry out strikes against the UK and pinpointed specific targets - including Suffolk.
The comments were made by military expert and former Colonel Mikhail Khodaryonok while he was speaking earlier this week on Russian state television.
While a map of his suggested targets appeared on the screen, he said: “Britain's leadership has to realise that sooner or later they will have to answer for their actions.
“If not today, then tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but in the historically observable future.
“We have all the technical means for a strike against the military-industrial complex of Great Britain.
“At this level, all strategic decisions look quite simple, like: 'we will strike.'”
When the TV host asked if he could rule out the strikes, the former colonel replied: “We cannot rule out anything.
“If I was in charge, I’d certainly carry out this strike.”

This comes as strikes ramp up once more against Ukraine.
Russia has targeted Kyiv for five consecutive days and nights with waves of drone and missile strikes.
Suffolk is home to both RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, which are of huge strategic importance for the UK and the USA.
Sizewell B is one of the UK's nuclear power stations and supplies electricity to the national grid.
A strike would disrupt major energy infrastructure and would have an economic impact beyond the immediate area.
At the end of August, Andrei Fedorov, a Russian former deputy foreign minister, said there might be a "semi-military" response against drone factories in the country after the UK government shared blueprints for cruise missile components with Ukraine.
The British government agreed to hand over blueprints for UK-made components for a missile, allowing Ukraine to manufacture the weapon domestically, after Prime Minister Andy Burnham visited Ukraine last week.
Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, said: "Britain is involved in this war on the side of the Kyiv regime.
"Britain methodically and regularly adds fuel to the fire."
