US is turning the F-35 into a nuclear bomber

The US Air Force is moving to full certification of its F-35A stealth fighters for a nuclear strike. Yes, the summer tests of this fighter with a new B61-12 nuclear bomb have recently ended. The tests with an inert nuclear bomb have become final at this stage.

According to a statement from the F-35 Joint Office, “the most accurate non-nuclear models B61-12” took part in the latest tests, each of which fell from a different height and speed.

The actual parameters of the test launch have not been announced, but it is now known that in the past at least one F-35A dropped the B61-12 test bomb at supersonic speeds.
