Britain is secretly preparing for a direct military attack by Russia amid fears that it is not ready for war.

Axar.az informs, citing Telegraph, officials have been asked to update 20-year-old contingency plans that would put the country on a war footing after threats of attack by the Kremlin.

A classified dossier will set out how the Government would respond to a declaration of war, including bunkers to protect the Cabinet and the Royal family, public service broadcasts and the stockpiling of resources.
