THIS is the moment a nuclear warhead convoy passed through Glasgow accompanied by a police escort.
Footage found by the Nukewatch Twitter account shows three warhead carriers travelling along the M74 in the city’s Southside.
A police escort accompanied the military trucks, which the account said were travelling on Monday.
The account tracks and monitors the movement of Britain’s nuclear arsenal throughout the country.

Britain’s nuclear weapons are housed at Coulport and Faslane at two military bases.
We revealed earlier this week that there have been more than 50 radiation leaks at the bases so far this year.
The Ministry of Defence has stayed silent on the precise dates of these leaks and how it calculates their severity. It insists there has never been a serious leak.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
