Locations of US nuclear weapons in Europe revealed in NATO document

[Ursus Minor]

A section of a draft report by Canadian senator Joseph Day, refers to a total of 'approximately 150 nuclear weapons' stored at Kleine-Brogel in Belgium, Buechel in Germany, Aviano and Ghedi-Torre in Italy, Volkel in the Netherlands and Incirlik in Turkey.

The report, titled 'A New Era for Nuclear Deterrence? Modernisation, Arms Control, and Allied Nuclear Forces' was written in April and then amended last week to remove the detailed references to the air bases.

The information appears to come from an annual paper on US nuclear forces in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which gives details of the reported locations of all American nuclear warheads.

The secret locations of US nuclear weapons hidden in Europe have been revealed in a NATO document.

A draft report for the NATO parliamentary assembly's defence and security committee seen by AFP gave details of six air bases in Europe and Turkey where it said the US stores 150 nuclear weapons, specifically B-61 gravity bombs.

Apparently, the draft report has some virility and contains factual information - Russia is quick with a proper response!

Russia calls on US to store nuclear weapons only on its own territory — diplomat
The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that a recently released document by a NATO-affiliated body said that US nuclear weapons are stored in several European countries.

VIENNA, July 17, 2019 - Russia calls on the United States to deploy nuclear weapons only on its own territory, Russia's Permanent Representative to international organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov said on Wednesday.

Russia deploys and stores its nuclear weapons exclusively on its own territory. We call on the US and NATO to do the same," Ulyanov wrote on his official Twitter account.

On Tuesday, The Washington Post published an article saying that "a recently released — and subsequently deleted — document published by a NATO-affiliated body has sparked headlines in Europe with an apparent confirmation of a long-held open secret: US nuclear weapons are being stored in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey."

The newspaper said that "according to a copy of the document published Tuesday by Belgian newspaper De Morgen, a section on the nuclear arsenal read: 'These bombs are stored at six US and European bases — Kleine Brogel in Belgium, Buchel in Germany, Aviano and Ghedi-Torre in Italy, Volkel in The Netherlands, and Incirlik in Turkey'."

The author of the report told The Washington Post that "this is not an official NATO document."
