In a shock admission, the US Colonel in charge of the top-secret military mission in the UK has claimed its stealth bombers are ready to cary out nuclear bombing raids. Three American B2 stealth bombers have been deployed for two months to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire in their longest ever UK deployment. The B-2 bomber is known is the US’s only aircraft capable of dropping huge nuclear bombs.
He admitted that the US mission pilots in the UK are ready to have their “finger on the nuclear payload”.
The three US Stealth Bombers – each costing more than two billion pounds – are part of a secret training mission in Europe.
The planes arrived in the UK using the callsigns DEATH 1, DEATH 2 and DEATH 3.
They have the power to travel 10,000 miles with only one mid-air re-fueling, making them one of the most deadly warplanes.
This threat to Russia comes in the same week as a study into the consequence of a nuclear war.
Rutgers University found that an all-out nuclear war would see explosions, fires and radiation exposure kill millions in targeted cities.
Following this, a nuclear winter lasting months to years would also drastically alter the Earth’s climate, causing freezing summers and worldwide famine.
The nuclear winter would be caused by smoke blotting out the sun.
