Flimsy protection for NATO warplanes exposed by media



The UK’s new nuclear-capable F-35 fighter jets are protected by only five-foot-high (1.5m) fencing and warning signs, leaving them vulnerable to potential attacks, The Telegraph reported on Friday.

A Royal Air Force (RAF) base suffered a vandalism attack just weeks ago, as the UK prepares for a major NATO rearmament push to counter the supposed “threat” from Russia. Moscow has repeatedly dismissed such allegations.

A number of the RAF’s most important airstrips are severely under-defended and vulnerable to potential attacks by “determined activists and foreign agents,” according to an investigation carried out by the outlet.
