Germany Now Will Order F-35s for Nuclear Bombing Missions.

the F-35 had been selected to serve as the next fighter for the German Air Force, after a years long process to select a successor for part of the ageing fleet of Tornado jets tasked with delivering nuclear strikes. the F-35’s expected ability to incorporate upgrades for many more years into the future, are thought to have been major factors influencing the decision. This marks the latest of multiple major contracts which the F-35 has gained in recent years consistently defeating the F-18E/F and competing European designs such as the Eurofighter.
