Just curious on how we know that these are Nuclear Warheads. Usually notifications of shipments of this nature are not released until 12 hours prior.

Arasaka convoy.

Nope . . . those are not nuclear warheads. If they were, the hazard markings would be affixed to the side of the vehicles.

Nonsense. It’s just Sir David Attenborough in transit. He’s too precious.

About 13 years ago, I was driving from Scotland down the A66 (I think) and blundered into an identical convoy to this. Lorry after lorry, each with one of those blue vehicles in between. Virtually no other civilian vehicles about. We overtook them and eventually reached a roundabout, but as we did armed police arrived and closed all the entrances onto it apart from ours. I’ve got a vivid memory of a copper with a machine gun jumping out of a car and beckoning us forwards as everyone watched us sail past.

A saw a similar convoy on the M40 a few weeks ago…

Would think they’d service on-site.

Isn’t there like 3+ separate convoys and you don’t even know which one has the warheads?

might be the trident missiles themselves?

It’s mindbloggling to think there’s a bucket of instant sunshine in the back of those trucks.

I spotted a convoy like this, looked a little different. Massive escort. Someone said it was likely warheads or some such. Someone else linked a website to report sightings on ‘where the nukes were’, we couldn’t stop laughing in the van, it was the most blatant foreign actor website setup under the guise of the anti nuclear lot. Madness.

So many police, and not a single placard waving pensioner in sight.

Interesting fact. Despite the name they’re actually conical when in the missile not three pronged

Nope. This is Prince Andrew’s wheelie bins taking away all the shit he’s generated this week.

Even a short trip for these weapons takes a lot of careful planning

The entire convoy might be a decoy. The real convoy might just be a mail truck.

interesting they have these multiple unmarked trucks and enclosures seemingly sitting around just for this purpose?

The logistics of this must be crazy.
Insurance people don’t like the word ‘missile’, on all the despatch paperwork for the missiles I’ve worked with (non nuclear) they’re just listed as ‘road cases’. They basically insured the crates they were in rather than the object inside.

Here in America Trump just fired 1/3 our nuclear staff. Sleep well rest of the world.

So how do the police cars at the back get to the front to block more traffic? Do they stop so they can overtake?
Thought it was interesting and others might think so as well so decided to share.
TIL the U.S. secretly moves nuclear weapons across the country in unmarked trucks known as “Safeguards Transporters,” nicknamed the “Ghost Fleet of the Highways.”
🚛 The Safeguards Transporter (SGT) is a fortress-grade Peterbilt built by Sandia National Labs for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
They look like ordinary long-haul rigs — but each one carries America’s most secure cargo.
# 🧩 Overview
* Purpose: Move live nuclear weapons across the continental U.S.
* Designer: Sandia Labs → NNSA
* Base Vehicle: Modified Peterbilt 18-wheeler + Safe Secure Trailer (SST)
* Fleet Size: Classified (goal ≈ 37 units in 2006)
* Nickname: “The Rolling Ghost Fleet”
# 🛡️ Design & Defense
* Built to survive fiery crashes and resist total immolation
* Packed with “surprise and delay” counter-measures
* Reportedly has autonomous defenses that can fight back if the crew is downed
* Even drivers can’t open the trailer — only inside an approved secure zone
* Completely unmarked, blending with civilian semis
# 🔒 Inside the Trailer (SST)
Looks ordinary outside — inside it’s a bunker:
* 12-inch-thick doors, dense walls
* Ceiling nozzles that can • Vacuum out air • Fill with a noxious gas • Flood the interior with fast-hardening foam
* Can be triggered from cab, escorts, or HQ
* Fully EMP-shielded
# 👮♂️ Convoy Operations
* Escorted by three unmarked Suburbans (4 armed agents each)
* Aerial backup (drones / planes) in real time
* Drivers = federal agents authorized to use deadly force
* Cab features: armor, firing ports, run-flats, auto-sand spreaders, extra armed seats
* Constant video link to Transportation & Emergency Control Center (TECC) in Albuquerque
* Police only told a “special mission” is passing
# ⚙️ Security Protocols
* TECC coordinates law enforcement if attacked
* Uses sign / countersign codes to avoid fake cop ambushes
* Wrong code = “take cover” — convoy will assume hostile
# 🧊 Travel Rules
* Avoids bad weather; shelters at secure sites
* Routes & times are classified — even governors don’t know
# 📸 Rarity & Mystery
* Only three known public photos exist (before 2009 FOIA release)
* Technical details remain top-secret
# 🚀 Next Gen
* Mobile Guardian Transporter (MGT) = successor program
* Adds AI monitoring + composite armor + advanced autonomous defense
# ⚓ The “Ghost Fleet” Link
* The original Ghost Fleet = mothballed Navy ships hidden in Suisun Bay (CA) & James River (VA)
* Term now applies to any secret U.S. logistics network
* These convoys = modern land version — the Ghost Fleet of the Highways
# 🛰️ Fun Facts
* Each trip has live aerial surveillance
* HQ nicknamed “The Eye”
* Foam system solidifies in seconds
* Comms are encrypted & GPS-scrambled
* Most runs happen at night
TL;DR: Disguised, heavily armored semis carry U.S. nuclear weapons under armed convoy and aerial guard. They’re booby-trapped, fireproof, and can defend themselves even if the crew is killed — the ultimate Ghost Fleet of the Highways.
