VICIOUS Russian “hooli-girl” thugs are warming up for the World Cup with sickening, staged mass brawls - and have set their sights on England fans.

Shocking pictures and video obtained by The Sun Online show two teams of female “Ultras” launching into a bloody fist fight in a snowy forest last month.

And Russian online viewers of the battle said it would be “fun” to see the women unleashed on English supporters arriving for the World Cup in June.

Two groups of seven yobettes line up at the remote spot before charging at each other with fists and feet flailing in the 1min 43second clip.

Within seconds, a girl in black sprints into the melee and poleaxes a rival as the gangs kick and punch each other to the ground.

Several girls are seen being kicked while they are down and are left writhing in agony or staggering with bloodied faces, while onlookers film on mobile phones.

“It'd be fun to see a joint mob of 100-150 woman fighting drunk English in Kaliningrad or Volgograd. PS but of course it is awful!.”

The latest footage comes after the Sun Online yesterday told how thousands of Russian hooligans have issued death threats to England fans.

Web football forums and social media in Russia are awash with sinister threats and images showing thugs training for the blood-thirsty battle ahead.

England kick off their 2018 campaign against Tunisia in Volgograd on June 18 amid huge security following Euro 2016 hooligan “Battle of Marseille.”

Two England fans were left in comas and dozens were hurt when they were attacked by highly organised gangs of Russian thugs before the two nations met in the French city.

Vladimir Putin has ordered a crackdown to stop an embarrassing repeat of the violence on home soil but anti-British tension is soaring amid the Skripal spy poisoning backlash.

Known hooligan godfathers have been warned off by Russia’s feared FSB secret police - but female yobs appear to have eluded the crackdown.

Hundreds of female “ultras” are at the heart of the nation’s hooligan culture but only one has been banned from the matches.

Self-confessed racist Diana Ivanova - a 19-year-old CSKA Moscow fan with a “Fight or Die” tattoo - was involved in crowd trouble at a match last year.

But other women thugs banned from matches will have restrictions lifted before the tournament.

They include Olga Borisova, 32, from Uzbekistan, and Elena Maleyeva, 51, from Ukraine.

A Russian security source said the females, who have their own gangs, plan brawls before matches.
