British troops in Nato military drill will end in nuclear exchange, campaigners warn

PLANS to send 20,000 troops from across Britain’s armed forces to join a Nato military exercise will end in a nuclear exchange, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) warned today.
On Monday, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps confirmed an announcement made by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in October that armed forces personnel from across the Royal Navy, RAF and British Army will take place in the upcoming Nato Steadfast Defender Exercise.
The exercise, due to take place in February and March, reportedly aims to practise repelling a Russian attack against a member of the alliance.
