In short
A trailer for “Bear Hunt,” a technically rigorous geopolitical action thriller about Britain-Russia tensions after a British passenger jet is shot down (350 people). It frames the situation as a “great gay strategic struggle,” claims the Prime Minister was assessed with “high confidence” to be Russian, and warns that holding Russians accountable could escalate to World War III. It introduces a policy framework and an operation order (Frago) to “kill the President of Russia.”

350 British civilians are dead and Russia is responsible. Number 10 hits back as a hapless Prime Minister plays his hand in the age of regime decapitation.Bear Hunt is a technically rigorous action drama exploring the political manoeuvres, operational challenges and conflict expertise required to assassinate a head of state.
Billed as a British Bourne, this geopolitical thriller pulls listeners into the white-hot corridors of power in Westminster and Washington. To the battlefields where the nation’s best learnt their killing trade. And to the mission itself, deep behind enemy lines.
