Campaigners demand transparency from the government concerning nuclear weapon transfers to a Suffolk airbase. A C-17A Globemaster transported cargo from New Mexico to RAF Lakenheath, raising concern over nuclear arms deployment. Reports indicate preparations at RAF Lakenheath to house nuclear bombs are underway, with previous documents suggesting a renewed presence since 2008. Former NATO expert William Alberque asserts evidence supports that the C-17 likely carried B61-12 nuclear bombs, indicating a heightened status of nuclear readiness and military logistics.
Campaigners have called for government "transparency" amid reports the United States Air Force has moved nuclear weapons to a Suffolk airbase, with specific concerns about the deployment. The flight data of a specialist C-17A Globemaster indicates it traveled from New Mexico to RAF Lakenheath last week, raising alarms over nuclear readiness. The situation marks a potential return of nuclear weapons to Lakenheath, the first since 2008, with platform preparations for the B61-12 bomb being evident based on recent documentation and expert analysis.
William Alberque, a former NATO arms control expert, indicated that evidence strongly suggests the C-17 transport aircraft was carrying B61-12 nuclear bombs. He noted the transponder's specific code indicating the transport of a dangerous load and confirmed that the aircraft was loaded at a 'hot weapons' pad. He emphasized that the circumstances surrounding the transporter’s activity represent a significant shift in understanding the situation.
