UK upgrades its military bunkers to store American nuclear weapons
The British Guardian newspaper revealed that military bunkers in the UK are being upgraded so they can be used to store US nuclear weapons again after 14 years of standing empty.
The newspaper pointed out that in the Biden administration’s 2023 defense budget request, the UK was added to the list of countries where infrastructure investment is under way at “special weapons” storage sites, alongside Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey – all countries where the US stores an estimated 100 B61 nuclear bombs.
The 2023 budget request says that NATO “is wrapping up a 13-year, $384m infrastructure investment program at storage sites in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, and Turkey to upgrade security measures, communication systems, and facilities”.
