“A
Russian bomber reported intercepted flying over the English Channel
last week is purported to have carried a nuclear weapon. Sources
within the Ministry of Defence have revealed that one of the two
long-range bombers was carrying at least one air-dropped 'seek and
find' nuclear missile, designed to seek and destroy a Vanguard
submarine, Sunday Express, reported Sunday.”
“One
senior RAF source reportedly said: 'We downloaded conversations from
the crew of one plane, who used a special word which meant the
would-be attack was a training exercise.' Both Prime Minister David
Cameron and Defence Secretary Michael Fallon were alerted after
cockpit conservations confirming the bomber’s nuclear payload were
intercepted by a Norwegian military listening post, and shared with
the MoD.”
“The
latest incident was described as 'yet another in a series of
deliberately provocative' measures by Russia. Britain on Thursday
summoned the Russian ambassador, criticizing the move.”
