Fighter Jets

The UK’s £1 billion Thank You to Uncle Sam. The UK is set to buy a

fleet of US fighter jets that can drop nuclear bombs. The purchase is
purely political, say watchdogs. Keir Starmer’s plan to buy American
fighter jets armed with nuclear bombs whose use will be entirely under the
US president’s control makes no military sense, nuclear weapons monitors
warn. In a report released today, the Nuclear Information Service and
Nukewatch UK make clear that the deal, announced by the prime minister on
the eve of a Nato summit in June, is a blatant attempt to appease President
Trump. The new fleet of F-35 As is estimated to cost about £1 billion.
That does not include the cost of the nuclear bombs which the aircraft
would carry. But the cost is only one of many uncertainties surrounding the
project.
