An unmarked military convoy carrying "up to six" nuclear warheads passed through Glasgow on Friday night (March 18) amid heightened tensions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, GlasgowLive reports. Having been tracked from the M6 motorway near Kendal, Cumbria, the convoy was spotted on the M74 at Lesmahagow around 25 miles south of Glasgow prior to its arrival at Royal Naval Armaments Depot Coulport (RNAD) on Loch Long at around 11:30pm.
Nukewatch UK tracks and monitors the convoys that transport the UK's Trident nuclear warheads by road from Atomic Weapons Establishment Burghfield near Reading to Coulport. They believe the convoy travelled west on the M74 through Glasgow's southside before joining the M8 south of the Kingston Bridge. It then passed over the Erskine Bridge before travelling past Loch Lomond on the A82.
The route is the same the unmarked military convoy was captured on video taking back in May 2021, a route that is also believed to have been taken two months prior to that.
