THE US could be edging ever closer to nuclear war with Russia after upgrading its attack defence readiness, it has been claimed.
DEFCON is an alert system used by the US military to indicate the current threat of nuclear war.
The system has five states of alert, increasing in severity from DEFCON 5 - the least severe - to DEFCON 1 - the highest level.
Currently, the levels is understood to be at 5.
The warning threat has secretly been upgraded two levels to DEFCON 3 - meaning the US could mobilise troops in as little as 15 minutes.
