British government plan is revealed, talks with Pentagon to buy fighter jets holding nuclear bombs

Britain wants to buy fighter jets capable of releasing tactical nuclear weapons as part of a large expansion of its punitive capacity to cope with the increasing threat from Russia.
Sir Keir Starmer’s government is in talks on this issue, which would represent the biggest development of Britain’s nuclear arsenal since the Cold War and an acceptance that the world has entered a more dangerous nuclear era.
John Healey, Secretary of Defense, and Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, head of the Armed Forces, are seeking to provide US -produced fighter jets that are capable of issuing gravitational bombs with lower power than conventional nuclear weapons.

Starmer also supported this idea and it is believed that Discussions with Pentagon have been held.
The prime minister is expected to launch a strategic defense review on Monday by a British military port. The review, although not specifically committed to the capacities released by the air, recommends that Britain examine the expansion of its contribution to the NATO joint nuclear capacity in Europe.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, Healey refused to comment on the talks, but admitted that Britain should adapt to the « new era of threats » he faces.

« The world is definitely becoming more dangerous. Nuclear risks are increasing, » he said. « For the first time since the end of the Cold War, we face the serious risks of a state conflict against the state. »
The review also aims to put Britain in a pre-war state, with extensive proposals for reiancement and restoring a continuously functioning industry. Healey said: « Teaching from Ukraine … is that a country’s armed forces are as strong as the industry that supports them. »
A new underwater supervision program, known as Atlantic Bastion and led by Marina, will protect against Russian internet cables and power pipes.
Healey will focus on resolving the recruitment crisis in the Armed Forces, but is expected to set a long -term target to increase the size of the military.

Radakin, who will be dismissed as chief of the Autumn Defense Staff, is said to see the expansion of nuclear capacity as the greatest advantage of defense for Britain and has long been an unofficial air capacity.
Simon Case, the former cabinet secretary and nuclear protection expert who resigned as the highest civilian official in December, called on authorities last week to invest in a second method of issuing nuclear arsenal, in addition to the submarine system.
