Four aircraft carrying nuclear weapons arrived at an air base in Spain after the President of the Russian Federation announced Russia’s withdrawal from the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Arms.

The United States deployed four B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers to Europe. On Friday, February 24, they arrived at the Moron airbase in Spain, reported US Air Force Command in Europe.

Aircraft from the Fifth Air Wing from Minot, North Dakota, were transferred to the EU “to cooperate and strengthen relations with NATO allies and partners,” as well as to demonstrate the “US commitment to collective defense,” said of command.

Before arriving at the Spanish base, the B-52s visited Estonia, where they made a low-altitude overflight over Tallinn as part of national independence day events. According to the command, bombers deployed in Europe in the coming days will take part in joint operations and exercises involving partners and allies.

Recall that on February 21, in a speech to the Federal Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin used nuclear threats and announced the suspension of Russia’s participation in the START Treaty.

In this regard, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that such a decision by Russia would destroy the entire architecture of arms control.

And the head of the US State Department, Anthony Blinken, called Russia’s decision on START irresponsible.


The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) is the only remaining element of the former comprehensive system of arms control treaties between the United States and Russia. This agreement also limits the number of strategic nuclear weapons, such as long-range missiles.

Under START, each country can have no more than 800 nuclear weapons carriers and no more than 1,550 warheads. In February 2021, US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin extended the agreement until 2026.
