In a move signaling heightened concerns over the increasing threat of Russian aggression in Europe, the United States is reportedly planning to relocate nuclear weapons to the United Kingdom for the first time in nearly two decades. Sensitive Pentagon documents obtained by The Telegraph reveal that the U.S. has procurement contracts for a new facility at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, confirming the intention to station nuclear warheads three times the strength of the Hiroshima bomb at the air base.

RAF Lakenheath, which hosted U.S. nuclear weapons during the Cold War, is now set to house B61-12 nuclear gravity bombs—weapons more than three times as powerful as the one dropped on Hiroshima. These compact bombs are deployable by various aircraft, including F-16s, F-15s, and F-35s.

The threat posed by Russia has become so severe that Admiral Rob Bauer, Chairman of the Military Committee of NATO, recently cautioned Europeans to be mentally prepared for a potential major war against Russia within the next two decades.

The Pentagon has not officially commented on the relocation, but reports indicate the existence of a new “surety dormitory” intended for the base. This dormitory, disclosed in budget documents last year, would enable the U.S. to store tactical nuclear weapons deployable by F-35 fighter jets. The term “surety” underscores the Pentagon’s commitment to maintaining the safety of nuclear weapons when not in use.

The U.S. Department of Defense has also ordered additional equipment for the base, including ballistic shields designed to protect military personnel from potential attacks on high-value assets.

Russia has responded to these developments with a stern warning, asserting that if the U.S. proceeds with moving nuclear weapons to the U.K., it would be viewed as an escalation. Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian foreign ministry, emphasized that such actions would hinder efforts to address the urgent issue of removing all nuclear weapons from European countries. She suggested that Russia might consider taking countermeasures to protect its security interests and those of its allies.

The scientists in charge of making sure nuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile are still functioning are set to start moving key components to the desert in Nevada in November to prepare for underground testing.

Those at national defense laboratories have not been able to confirm the effectiveness and reliability of nuclear warheads since 1992, when an underground test ban was instituted. However, the Associated Press reported that Energy Department officials announced on Thursday that they have figured out the next best thing, which has been referred to as “tickling the dragon’s tale.”

The $1.8 billion Scorpius project could move beyond the theoretical computing model to research, in detail, what goes into a nuclear implosion without carrying out a nuclear explosion. The report noted that this strategy could be put in place as early as 2027, according to Jon Custer, head of the Sandia project.

Custer noted that the reason why this strategy is referred to as “tickling the dragon’s tail” is because the experiment approaches but remains below the phase at which nuclear materials ignite a series of chain reactions, according to the report. The question scientists are trying to answer is whether U.S. nuclear weapons are still operative.
