(London Comprehensive News) British media reported that due to the increasing threat from Russia, the United States plans to deploy nuclear weapons in Britain, which is the first time in 15 years.
British Daily Telecommunications quoted the Pentagon Files that the Pentagon saw that the United States planned to deploy nuclear bombs in the Royal Air Force Lakenheath Air Force Base in Suffolk, eastern British.
The document revealed the procurement contract of a new facility at the Air Force Base, showing that the United States planned to "immediately" deploy the B61-12 gravity nuclear bomb at this base; the power of this type of nuclear bomb is equal to three times the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
In addition, the Pentagon also ordered the BTS and other military reserve. The accommodation facilities of the American soldiers at the Leakin Heis Air Force Base will start in June.
The United States deployed nuclear missiles at the Leakhis Air Force Base during the Cold War, but was demolished after the Cold War threat of Moscow in 2008.
In 2022, it is reported that the US nuclear weapon may be stationed in the Leakhis Air Force base, and the anti -warant also held a protest outside the base.
The Daily Mail of the UK pointed out that the deployment of nuclear weapons in the United Kingdom is actually part of NATO development and upgrading nuclear facilities to respond to the increasingly tense relationship with the Kremlin.
Russia has previously stated on this news that the United States will be regarded as an upgrade of the situation and will take counterattack measures.
A spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Tazanova told the media last September: "In the context of turning to public confrontation in the United States and NATO, in the context of Russia faced the 'strategic failure', the United States' approach and its development forced usTake countermeasures to effectively protect the security interests of the country and allies.
However, the Pentagon insists that the documents in British media reports "cannot predict, nor is it used to disclose any specific situation or base details."
A spokesman for the British Department of Defense said: "The policy of Britain and NATO has always been, and will not confirm or deny the exact location of the deployment of nuclear weapons."
