She also suggested that London could be targeted.

Chapman, 36 – who was unmasked by the FBI and was a “sleeper” agent in the UK – said HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales should be in the Kremlin’s sights.

She said: “If there is an open military conflict between Russia and USA in Syria, our attacks should be aimed not only at American ships and Currently en route to the Middle East Weaponry: 90 fixedwing and rotary aircraft including F/A-18 Hornets, E-2C Hawkeyes and EA-6B Prowlers Cost: $6.2billion planes. The British recently launched two new warships – aircraft carriers.

“If something unpleasant happens to them – like sinking to the bottom – the British aristocrac­y will come to its senses very fast.”

She claimed the West were “turning themselves inside out making Russia use its military force just somewhere – in Donbass [eastern Ukraine], in London, in Syria”.

On the recent Syria chemical weapons attack, she said the US State Department has “straightfo­rwardly accused Russia – as the country that protects ‘the criminal regime’ in Damascus”.
