Tensions in the US are growing as it is feared that Vladimir Putin’s Military may have carried out secret nuke tests in the Arctic. This is based on tests that show a dangerous spike in radiation levels across Europe
In response to this possible threat, 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.

While there’s been no official statement from the US Military about the reason for aircraft’s deployment, sources suggest that the aircraft has been sent to investigate the elevated radiation levels.
Many are pointing to this as proof positive that Russia has been doing nuclear tests at Novaya Zemlya near the Arctic.
