## Description

No freight moves through Kleine Brogel — this is a front-line NATO nuclear base, not a logistics site. Located in Belgian Limburg, the Belgian Air Component airfield is one of a handful of European sites storing US B61 bombs (an estimated 10–15) in underground WS3 vaults inside hardened aircraft shelters. Long home to F-16 fighters, it is converting to the F-35A from 2027, with around €275 million in shelters, hangars and infrastructure shared with Florennes. The base is closed to the public; regional air cargo routes via Liège (LGG, approx. 90 km) or Eindhoven (EIN, NL, approx. 50 km).
