The UK government has announced that it will buy a dozen F-35A fighter jets capable of carrying nuclear bombs from the US.
A statement released by Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office described the aircraft as "the biggest step of this generation in increasing Britain's nuclear power". Downing Street also said that with this purchase, the British army is going to carry nuclear weapons after three decades.
It is considered meaningful for Britain to buy the F-35A jet aircraft manufactured by the American company "Lockheed Martin", that too during the NATO summit. The British Air Force is preparing to carry nuclear weapons for the first time since the Cold War. After the Cold War between the United States and the then Soviet Union, which continued from 1947 to 1991, Britain deactivated its nuclear bomb capability to be dropped by the Royal Air Force.
"In today's more uncertain times, we cannot say that there will always be peace in the world, so we are investing in national security," Prime Minister Starmer said , "These aircraft can carry both conventional and nuclear weapons." They will make our British Air Force more powerful. It will help to deter any enemy who threatens Britain and our allies.'
According to Aljazeera, the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Military Organization (NATO), Mark Root, welcomed this announcement by the UK and responded that it was "another important contribution of Britain to NATO". This week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the NATO summit was held in The Hague in the Netherlands. According to the AFP news agency, seven NATO member states, including the United States, Germany and Italy, currently have dual-capable fighter jets that can carry both conventional and conventional weapons. Now Britain will also have such a weapon .
Britain is going to buy a fighter plane to annoy US President Donald Trump, who keeps complaining that NATO member countries are not investing enough in the defense sector. Not only the UK, but almost all NATO member states According to Trump's proposal at the summit held on Wednesday, he agreed to invest up to 5 percent of his country's gross domestic product in the defense sector. It has been praised by Trump .
Britain will also increase defense spending to 5 percent of GDP by 2035 Agreed and committed to the matter . After Spain said that it is not necessary to meet the defense spending target of 5 percent of the GDP, Trump threatened Spain and said that he would pay twice as much in the trade agreement in return.
"I like Spain, it's a very nice place and the people there are nice, but Spain is the only country that refuses to pay money," Trump said, "They try to get some things for free, but I won't let that happen." They will have to pay us more in business.
After the completion of the purchase of the world's most advanced and most expensive aircraft, 20,000 jobs will be created in the UK and more than 100 suppliers will be able to contribute to the F35 program, according to the British government's press release. We must all take action to preserve it for generations.' According to
Reuters, Britain's nuclear deterrence currently relies on the Trident submarine-launched long-range ballistic missile system. This means that submarines equipped with Trident missiles are the main means of carrying and delivering nuclear bombs for Britain.
Britain is said to always keep at least one Trident submarine secretly patrolling the seas . If there is a nuclear attack, they can stop it . Since these Trident missiles are also made in America, Britain has to rely on America for maintenance. The US has land, sea and air based nuclear weapons .
