    F-35As are B61-12 tactical nuke capable. I believe the most recent frenzy around them is to make it so every nato nation has this new generation of nuclear weapons. It signals a shift in nuclear policy. It could technically be used in a first strike that disables the enemy's nuclear capacity as they are also stealth planes that dodges enemy radars.

      The whole idea of a decapitating first strike is a complete fantasy. Russia has a dead man's switch, they have subs circling the US coast. They have hypersonic missiles that cannot be intercepted. I really hope these idiots don't genuinely believe they could survive a nuclear war.
