The United Kingdom will acquire 12 f-35a-jets to wear nuclear weapons. This decision will announce British Prime Minister Keir Strander during the NATO summit on Wednesday. He will call NATO members to do more for the support of the alliance.

meaning of NATO engagement

"The commitment of the United Kingdom for NATO is undeniable, as is the contribution of the alliance for security and the protection of the United Kingdom", Starmer, according to Downing Street, will explain. "However, we all have to strengthen ourselves to protect the Euro-Atlantic region for future generations."

response to international criticism

This announcement is carried out in the context of repeated criticism of the American President Donald Trump, who accused NATO countries, not to invest enough in defense. With the acquisition of these modern fighter planes, which are mainly produced by the US manufacturer Lockheed Martin, the United Kingdom will significantly upgrade its military skills.

strengthening the nuclear skills

The decision to buy aircraft with the ability to arm armament is a significant step to strengthen the nuclear deterrence in Great Britain. In addition to the existing sea-based nuclear deterrent system, the country will now also take part in the NATO mission for dual-enforcement aircraft.

"In a time of radical uncertainty, we can no longer take peace for granted," says Straßer. According to the British government, the decision will support around 20,000 jobs in the F-35 program in the United Kingdom, with 15% of the global supply chain being resident in the United Kingdom.
