The F-35 Fighter Jet is Now a Nuclear Bomber

The US F-35 is now officially certified to carry a nuclear bomb. According to a spokesman for the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO), the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has received operational certification for carrying the B61 thermonuclear gravity bomb. Russ Goemaere, the JPO spokesman, stated in a release that this certification was attained on October 12, beating the timeline set for completion by January 2024, as promised to NATO allies. With this certification, specific F-35 are now equipped to transport the B61, effectively designating the stealth fighter as a "dual-capable" aircraft capable of transporting both conventional and nuclear bomb armaments.
