The United States has redeployed nuclear weapons to the UK for the first time since 2008, aiming to strengthen European security and send a message to Russia. A military transport flew from New Mexico to the UK’s Lakenheath base, carrying advanced B61-12 bombs known for their precision and adjustable yield. This move marks a significant boost to NATO’s nuclear deterrence amid rising tensions. The UK is also acquiring new fighter jets capable of deploying these weapons, signaling renewed nuclear responsibilities for the British Royal Air Force.
