BRITISH FIGHTER JETS COULD SOON CARRY NUCLEAR BOMBS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY AS THE THREAT FROM EVIL VLADIMIR PUTIN AGAINST THE UK AND THE WEST CONTINUES TO MOUNT 12:52, 01 Jun 2025
British fighter jets could soon carry nuclear bombs for the first time in history as the threat from Vladimir Putin mounts. The UK government is reportedly in talks to purchase jets with the
ability to fire nuclear weapons, stepping up its deterrents against Russia and its increasing hostility. This weapons move could be the biggest progression in the UK's nuclear
deterrents since the Cold War. The aircraft the government has allegedly set its eyes on are American-made fighter jets that are able to launch gravity bombs, which use up less power and
energy than standard nukes and are more popular with the military. Defence Secretary John Healey and the head of the armed forces, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, are looking to grow the UK's
military capability by purchasing these jets. Sir Keir Starmer has reportedly also thrown his support behind the idea. Talks with the Pentagon over purchasing these combat aircrafts are
believed to have taken place, according to The Sunday Times. The government has not confirmed these talks but Healey said the UK had to adjust for the "new era of threat" posed to
the country. He told The Sunday Times: "The world is definitely becoming more dangerous. Nuclear risks are rising. We face now, for the first time since the end of the Cold War,
seriously increasing risks of state-on-state conflict." Article continues below These combat jets could work with the B61, which is a nuclear air-dropped bomb used by the US. The slim
and long bomb can slot under fighter jets and be dropped when needed, rather than launched like a missile. This potentially imminent nuclear military development comes after Russia issued a
series of threats to the UK in recent weeks. Russia has reportedly put together a secret list of places on dictator Putin's "hit list", supposedly including several UK towns
and cities. Secret documents revealed Russia's nuclear hit list has 32 targets across NATO, including a shipyard in Cumbria, a factory in Hull and a site near Edinburgh. Russia's
main target was said to be the Royal Navy's nuclear submarine shipyard at Barrow-in-Furness. Another report suggested other potential locations on the list include Aldershot,
Colchester, Portsmouth, Chatham, Tidworth and Salisbury. Putin has previously threatened the UK and other countries but has failed to follow through on any attacks, other than on Ukraine.
Despite this, the threats and hostility from Moscow have continued to grow. One of Putin's mouthpieces recently said Russia should wipe the UK off the map in a chilling threat. Article
continues below Sergei Karaganov, one of the dictator's leading military experts, said Britain "won't exist" following a nuclear attack. Karaganov added: "We need to
strengthen nuclear deterrence by any means."
