The USA is upgrading its nuclear arsenal in Europe by replacing older warheads with new generation-related ones, Alistair Burnett, head of media for the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), told Sputnik.
In line with the principle of NATO nuclear sharing, about 150 heavy US nuclear warheads are reportedly stored across Europe at air bases in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkiye.
One can see it by the way the US Air Force aircraft designed for this type of transport are being tracked live on air. They [the Biden administration] don’t talk about it publicly, but the upgrade of this [nuclear] arsenal is underway.
The statement comes after ICAN Policy and Research Coordinator Alicia Sanders-Zakre earlier called to withdraw the US nuclear arsenal from Europe as soon as possible.
The practice of sharing nukes or deploying nuclear weapons on foreign territory is a dangerous and escalatory step that must be condemned worldwide and urgently stopped.
The principle of nuclear sharing is NATO’s arrangement stipulating that the benefits, responsibilities and risks of nuclear deterrence are shared across the whole of the alliance, its official website reads.
According to ICAN estimates, the USA currently has about 150 nuclear bombs stationed at American air bases in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Turkiye. The B61, which was designed in 1963, has been produced since 1968.

That crazy escalation….Let’s hope there is still common sense in some politicians heads…
Sickening to see how the “Unwelcomed Terroristic Amerikan Gov”” Uses others to do their dirty work & commit War Crimes just cause American Gov promised them billion$
Further signs of desperation by the emasculated West.
NATO are currently doing naval maneuvers in the Clyde in Glasgow I don’t like putting fear into the public but all the signs look towards WW3 because of US arrogance.
According to the definition of a World War, all continents must participate in the event, and this already occurred since the First Gulf War. Now the final battlefields have emerged in Ukraine and Israel, the instigators of the global terror networks?
Israel due to its control of the USA is the major instigator.
The USA/NATO vs Russia countdown has started and Zionist-Americans do not have the upper hand in technology or strategic welfare anymore, the South China is controlled by China and Philippines, the Black Sea by Russia and Turkey, the Persian Gulf by Iran and the Mediterranean Sea still by NATO members..
Well thought out G de D that’s why the US is surrounding Russia & China with nukes so that they can go in for a surprise “Kill ” but Mr.Putin realises that and is now about to change his nuclear policy to a “First Strike ” not waiting for missiles to approach .
Human life on this planet is on a knife edge .
World would & Will be happier safer .. when American Gov is Dead & none existent.
