BBC News, Safok
The United States Air Force has called for the government “transparency” to transfer nuclear weapons to a Safok airbase.
Flight data showed an expert C -17A Globmaster Transporter – which is capable of carrying additional heavy loads – was traveling over 4,400 miles (8,200 km) from New Mexico in the United States last week.
The campaign for the nuclear disarmament (CND) said that the Prime Minister Kir starrer should “come clean” and make a formal statement about possible deployment.
Neither United States Air Force (USAF) or Ministry of Defense on deployment of nuclear weapons.
Last year, the US Department of Defense indicated that RAF was preparing Laken Hath facilities. To protect the house and atom Bomb,
The documents that gave details of a contract for the construction of defensive shelters for the “upcoming nuclear mission” of the base were published, and then withdrawn by the US Defense Department.
This will be the first time since 2008 That nuclear weapon Lakenheath was in place.
The base is home to the 48th fighter wing, also known as Liberty Wing.
F-35A Lightning II Jets posted on the base have been successfully tested to carry a strategic weapon designed for B61–12 thermonuclear bomb, battleground.
NATO’s former weapon control expert William Albek said that he believes the transporter’s cargo consisted of B61–12 atomic bombs.
Mr. Albeck, who is now on the Foreign Policy Research Institute Prashant Manch, said that all indications indicated the aircraft carrying nuclear weapons.
“Somebody has to say that the balance of evidence has given the scales from ‘no’ to ‘yes’.
“We know that C -17 is loaded on a ‘hot weapons’ pads because their transponders were on – and that it is voluntary and is not often done.”
The code of the transponder was for a dangerous load, he told the BBC, and was the time to fill the air fuel over the Atlantic.
“If they had no atomic cargo, they could fill fuel on the ground,” he said, “This is a message”.
Safok-based aviation analyst Roger Smith agreed that the aircraft was carrying an atomic payload.
According to data on the flight tracking website Ads-B exchange, C-17A originally flew from its base at the McCord Air Force Base in Washington State in the state of Washington before going to the USAF nuclear weapon center at the Kertland Air Force Base.
He said that it used Callsine Reach 4574, which is mainly used by the US Air Mobility Command.
He told the BBC that the number of four digits has indicated a more specific or sensitive mission and that the callsine is also associated with the Prime Nuclear Airlift Force (PNAF) located on McCord AFB.
He said, “PNAF is a group of expert aircraft and loading crew, trained and cleaned to transfer nuclear weapons from air.”
Reacting to the reports of potential delivery of bombs, the campaign for nuclear disarmament (CND) called the Prime Minister to make a formal statement.
Chairman Tom Untrenner said: “It is completely unfair to the public to find out about such a major increase in nuclear threats through reports and assessment of security experts in British newspapers.
“Keer stormer should make a public statement about this major change in Britain’s security system and allow a transparent and democratic debate in Parliament.”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense said: “It remains a long -standing UK and NATO policy, which neither confirms nor denies the presence of nuclear weapons at a given place.”
An official of the US Department of Defense said: “In line with the long -standing American policy, we neither confirm nor refuse the presence or absence of nuclear weapons at a particular place.”
