“TRUNEWS learned that approximately 50 B-61 nuclear warheads are stored under Incirlik AB and that it would take approximately three weeks to transfer from the underground bunkers in the event of an emergency”
I do not believe this statement. Of what use would prepositioned weapons be that require 3 weeks to transfer from storage.
I don't know why it would take so long, and the answer is likely classified. I do know it has been reported numerous times by others, and reported in numerous threads here on FR. I agree is sounds rather preposterous.
The area could become a quiet neighborhood for many years as the final resort to prevent seizure of bunker contents. They could be dialed select-yield from sub-kilo to 340.
“I do not believe this statement. Of what use would prepositioned weapons be that require 3 weeks to transfer from storage.”
That’s probably the private-contractor, PC, OSHA, EPA, standard. The Emergency War Mode is to just hang them on F-16s and Tornados and fly off.
Yep. That doesn’t make any sense.
Regardless, we should move them out of Turkey.

This is only guess, but I’m wondering if they have a protocol for non-combat transfers that says only one warhead can be moved at a time. They may not want multiple warheads on one transport?? In which case they might only move 2-3 per day when transporting away from Turkey??? Just a guess.....
