A list of Vladimir Putin's potential targets in the UK were previously leaked, according to reports, and some of them might surprise you.
The Russian President, 72, is alleged to have drawn up a list of sites in Great Britain which he would blast nuclear missiles at in the event of a war with NATO.
And seen as though a host of his key allies keep antagonising the UK with threats and taunts, it seems as good a time as any to refresh ourselves on them.

Pro-Kremlin TV anchor Vladimir Solovyov has been very vocal about the prospect of Brits' blood being shed since Russia first invaded Ukraine, and he shows no signs of slowing down.
Over the last few weeks, he has warned that UK and French troops 'will all die', while urging troops to 'stay at home' if they know what's good for them.
It came after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was 'ready and willing' to send forces to Ukraine to provide security guarantees to in the event of a ceasefire, while French President Emmanuel Macron also signed up to the plan.
And Solovyov has just issued another concerning threat while discussing the UK and US on his show, claiming the countries were 'directly waging war against' Russia while warning of the 'consequences' they will face.

Solovyov said: "You don't understand the main thing. We see right through your coalition of peacemakers, who are not peacemakers but basically interventionists, will be destroyed.
"You have to realise that not only the frontline units you're planning to deploy on the territory of Ukraine will be destroyed, but since we can't perceive it in any other way other than the direct participation of your countries, you will feel the consequences, the likes of which you have never seen."
As this is a bloke who also previously stated that 'one Sarmat [missile] means minus one Great Britain', it's clear he's got an axe to grind with the UK.
The current tensions across the globe have left a lot of people concerned about the prospect of World War 3, and Solovyov's continuous comments only heighten that concern.
That's because if Putin did decide to make good on his threats to the UK, as we're a founding member of NATO, it would trigger an international conflict.

In February last year, an alleged list of places which the leader had put a bullseye on were revealed - including a factory in Hull, a shipyard in Cumbria and an unknown site near Edinburgh.
These spots were among 32 different areas in Europe which could be on the receiving end of a nuclear warhead in the event of a conflict between Russia and NATO.
A dossier of documents drawn up between 2008 and 2014, reported by the Financial Times, were said to have also included maps plotting out Russian targets in Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, China, Korea and Japan.
The publication suggested that the unnamed target in Cumbria could possibly be the Royal Navy's submarine shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, which has been in operation since its inception in 1886.

Russia may have also been eyeing up a similar site in Edinburgh, as there's a shipyard in Rosyth where the Royal Navy aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, were built.
It was suspected that this may have been the target in Scotland.
The exact location of the Hull factory which was supposedly also in the firing line was unclear.
The documents reportedly showed that ships from Russia’s Northern fleet would launch the attacks on the UK if and when Putin give the go ahead.
Although they were a decade old, experts reckoned that the files remain relevant due to the current state of the world, according to the Financial Times.

Former NATO official William Alberque said that documents were just a small amount of 'hundreds, if not thousands, of targets mapped across Europe...including military and critical infrastructure targets'.
Six UK towns which were also said to be a prime target for Russian forces were also revealed last year, due to their historical connections to the Armed Forces.
But not to worry, as the safest place to be in the UK in the event that any of this madness does erupt has also previously been revealed.
