Entirely fucking pointless.
no no, let them cook. when the f35 crashes into england while carrying nukes, it’ll be funny
yes we have first nuclear deterrent, what about second nuclear deterrent
Can these planes be used for other things or does them being part of the nuclear deterrent mean they’re only used for nuclear deterrence?
They can drop normal bombs also if needed
They can be used for all kinds of things. But in this case Britain seems to be buying them specifically for their nuclear capabilities. (They already operate the B model of this plane, but only the A model is rated for the B61 nuclear bomb).
Israel should bomb the UK next since this constitutes nuclear proliferation
And the US should bomb one of those carts where they put beans and cheese inside of potatoes
12? So by the rule of thirds there are 4. Yeah, that’s gonna scare them
