The weapons were moved out a long time ago.Went to Germany and other NATO counties.
Has long been the case - I cannot site any links.
Hillary has tweeted,we apologize for the video which has caused this incident,we will prosecute the individual who has done this.
Hope that you are correct!
It’s in a comment beneath.
Why the concern?:
Because: “Liz Sly;@LizSly · 2h2 hours ago
Some coup loyalists were at Incirlik, home to nuclear weapons & US troops/planes. A rebel jet refueled there. Serious ramifications. #turkey”
(WashPo bureau chief Beirut)
he’s on the 19th hole not to be disturbed.
I hope that you are correct!
Thanks, found it.
Incirlik Air Base - Turkey
Just for everyone’s knowledge. There are no reports of any explosions on or near the installation. Let’s please not perpetuate this rumor any more.

You are right that the nukes are in Europe. But, the Pentagon considers Turkey as a European base, and there are, indeed, still a bunch of nukes there.
“The weapons were moved out a long time ago.Went to Germany and other NATO counties.”
Are you saying this is inaccurate?

Incirlik Air Base is the largest nuclear weapons storage site in Europe with 25 underground vaults installed inside as many protective aircraft shelters (PAS) in 1998. Each vault can hold up to four bombs for a maximum total base capacity of 100 bombs. There were 90 B61 nuclear bombs in 2000, or 3-4 bombs per vault. This included 40 bombs earmarked for deliver by Turkish F-16 jets at Balikesir Air Base and Akinci Air Base. There are currently an estimated 50 bombs at the base, or an average of 2-3 bombs in each of the 21 vaults inside the new security perimeter.
See post 104.
FAS and RT say they are still there.
