FEARS are mounting Vladimir Putin’s military have carried out a secret Arctic nuke test after a huge spike in dangerous radiation levels were detected across Europe.
The worrying claims came as the US Air Force sent a special WC-135 Constant Phoenix to RAF Mildenhall – whose main mission is to detect and identify nuclear explosions from the air.
Although they cross the European airspace from time-to-time, their deployment to the UK is still rare. And there has been no official statement from the US military about the reasons why it has been deployed here.
However, sources suggest the aircraft has been tasked with investigating the spike in radiation levels detected in northern Europe since January.
And some
respected websites claim there are growing fears within military circles that Russia has been testing its nuclear might ahead of a new conflict. Many point to the radiation spike as “proof” the Russians have restarted nuclear weapons testing at
Novaya Zemlya near the Arctic.
Others point to the lack of recorded seismic activity to doubt the claims. However, the deployment of the WC-135 to the UK seems to add weight to the test theory.
Last Wednesday it was revealed that Russian jets buzzed a US destroyer docked off the Romanian coast in a blatant show of force slammed by Navy officers as “unsafe and unprofessional”. And a 200-crew Russian spy ship armed with surface-to-air missiles reached as close as 30 miles to the Connecticut coastline — and a key US submarine base.
At the weekend, the US Navy released a statement saying its testing of two Trident missiles was “not in response to any world events” after scores of people filmed a mysterious light trailing through the night sky.
Traces of Iodine-131 were found in Norway, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain in January, but the public were not immediately alerted. These radioactive particles are produced by atomic bomb explosions or nuclear disasters such as Chernobyl or Fukushima.
