Britain to buy 12 nuclear-capable fighter jets

The United Kingdom will buy 12 F-35A fighter jets that can carry nuclear weapons, in a major boost to the country's nuclear deterrent capability, the British government said.

The move, which was announced to coincide with the NATO summit in the Netherlands, will give Britain's Royal Air Force a role in the UK's nuclear program for the first time since the 1990s, when defense cuts were made after the end of the Cold War.

Currently, the country's nuclear deterrent capability is limited to a fleet of four nuclear-armed submarines.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer explained that the decision to buy the US-made fighter jets was both a boost to the country's national security and a sign of its commitment to NATO at a time of rising nuclear risks./CNA
