The United Kingdom has confirmed it will purchase 12 F-35A stealth fighter jets from the United States, marking a significant return to warplane-based nuclear deterrence for the British military.
These aircraft are capable of carrying tactical nuclear weapons, aligning the UK more closely with NATO's nuclear sharing strategy and signaling a strategic response to increasing global threats.
