US Fighter Jets Capable Of Carrying Nuclear Weapons To Be Deployed In UK

Handout photo dated July 14, 2011 shows the Air Force’s first joint strike fighter pilot, Lt. Col. Eric Smith of the 58th Fighter Squadron, looks at the monitor in his squadron’s newest aircraft, the U.S. Air Force F-35 Lightning II, after flying the aircraft to its new home at Eglin Air Force Base, FL, USA. The UK media reports that two F-35A squadrons have already been deployed and will soon arrive at the US-leased Royal Air Force Base Lakenheath in England. These are low-visibility aircraft designed to deliver tactical nuclear strikes; they are also capable of conducting air-to-air combat tasks and gathering intelligence. Military sources stress that deploying 54 F-35 fighter jets, which will replace the F-15s currently at the air base, is a "significant step" because the F-15s are also capable of carrying nuclear weapons but are less advanced.
