The British newspaper "Metro" published documents from the U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) revealing that the Royal Air Force is preparing to store bombs with explosive power several times greater than those dropped on Hiroshima at the end of World War II. The documents indicate that this arsenal of weapons will be stored at a military base located in the village of "Lakenheath," approximately 130 kilometers northeast of London. The news report states that storing these weapons in this village could make it the first target for bombing by Russian forces in the event of a third world war, arising from the ongoing tensions in Ukraine.
This would mark the first time the U.S. has stored such weapons on British soil in over a decade, but it is unclear whether this move is related to the war in Ukraine. This information, along with the tensions between the West and Russia, has raised significant concern among residents in Lakenheath. Some fear that their homes could become the primary target for Russian President Vladimir Putin should World War III break out. The military base is located about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northeast of London and 25 miles (40 kilometers) northeast of Cambridge. The site accommodates 4,000 U.S. military personnel and 1,500 British and American civilian staff.
