An unmarked military convoy carrying "up to six" nuclear warheads has passed through Glasgow. The vehicle was tracked from the M6, near Kendal and was spotted on the M74 at Lesmahagow, around 25 miles south of the city.It then arrived at the Royal Naval Armaments Depot Coulport (RNAD) at Loch Long in Argyll and Bute at 11.30pm on Friday, March 19.

It comes amidst heightened tensions surrounding Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Glasgow Live reports. Nukewatch UK tracks and monitors convoys transporting UK's Trident nuclear warheads by road from the 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.Likewise, it is also believed to be the same route that was taken a few months earlier in March of that year.Confirming its passage through Glasgow via the M74 and M8, Nukewatch UK Campaigner Jane Tallents told Glasgow Live: "We think that's the most likely [route] at that time of night."And looking at the timings of it I would say yes that's probably what it did, took the M74 onto the M8 over the Erskine Bridge and up the A82 at Loch Lomondside."I know it was about 11.30pm last night that it got into [RNAD] Coulport.

I think there were four warhead carriers I believe."Our reckoning is that each of those trucks can carry two but one of the trucks is empty as a spare in case breaks down."So if there's four we expect there to be six warheads, or up to six warheads anyway".
