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.
It is believed that the United States has deployed nuclear weapons in the United Kingdom for the first time in nearly 17 years. Analysts say this move is intended to reaffirm commitments to European security and send a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
