Missiles could be placed at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk in case of potential war between Nato and Russia
The US is planning to station nuclear weapons in the UK for the first time in 15 years amid a growing threat from Russia, according to a report. Warheads three times as strong as the Hiroshima bomb would be located at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk under the proposals, the Telegraph reported.
The US previously placed nuclear missiles at RAF Lakenheath and removed them in 2008 after the cold war threat from Moscow receded. Pentagon documents seen by the newspaper reveal procurement contracts for a new facility at the airbase.
A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: “It remains a longstanding UK and Nato policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons at a given location.”
🤮🤢🤮🧐🤮🤢🤮🧐😂
Fucking fuck off you terrorists
You can’t have freedom from an aggressive warmongering nation with nukes without a nuclear deterrent. Hate the language all you want, there is no alternative to this in today’s world.
But the UK has its own nuclear arsenal? Though I admit that fact goes both ways, nukes are kind of all or nothing so the presence of american nukes makes the situation neither better nor worse in regards to the general presence of nukes. Though in the event of launch I supposed it could lead to a situation where the US launches but the UK doesn’t but the launch location causes the UK to tank a retaliatory strike that was incited by the US.
