President Putin has unveiled Russia's new stockpile of "invincible" nuclear weapons, with a video graphic appearing to show missiles raining on Florida.
But why would the Kremlin want to target the Sunshine State in the event of an atomic war?
Florida is home to tourist attractions such as Walt Disney World and the Everglades National Park.
But it also has high-profile targets including President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
A spokesman for the US Defence Department said the Pentagon was "not surprised" by Mr Putin's rhetoric.
"The American people should rest assured that we are fully prepared," said Dana White from the Pentagon, downplaying the Russian threat.
