DEFENCE chiefs have rehearsed a huge cyber-strike to cripple Moscow if Vladimir Putin ever launches a military attack on the West.
Senior security sources are reportedly concerned Britain’s military resources are ill equipped to respond to Russia short of firing Trident nuclear missiles.
Senior security sources say they are concerned Britain has a “capability gap” that has left commanders with not enough fire power to take on Putin’s military might, reveals the Sunday Times.
And reports claims exercises on the threat posed by Russia have left officials “ashen-faced” at how any confrontation with Russia could escalate out of control.
Top level Whitehall officials have now vowed to step up Britain’s offensive cyber-attack capabilities in readiness for any future conflicts with the Kremlin.
The news comes as 5,500 British troops take part in their biggest military exercise for a decade to improve their combat readiness.
The £100m exercise – held in the heat of the Omani desert – involves 200 armoured vehicles, six naval ships and eight Typhoon warplanes.
In a series of mock battles, the Household Cavalry played the role of an enemy using powerful Russian T-72 tanks.
The chief of the defence staff, General Sir Nick Carter, has already warned “a spiral of escalation that ends up in miscalculation” with Russia is “the greatest threat” Britain faces.
One senior source told the Sunday Times: “Russia will continue to try to undermine our western democracy.

“If they sank our aircraft carrier with a nuclear-tipped torpedo, what is our response? There’s nothing between sinking their submarine and dropping a nuclear weapon on northern Kamchatka.
“This is why cyber is so important; you can go on the offensive and turn off the lights in Moscow to tell them that they are not doing the right things.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
