According to the interlocutors, the British Defense Minister John Gili and the current head of the General Staff of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin plan to buy fighter jets in the US capable of launching gravitational bombs with less power than ordinary nuclear warheads.
After supporting Prime Minister Kira Starmer, British representatives held the first negotiations with the Pentagon, the newspaper writes.
Its sources claim that Britain is currently priority for the purchase of stealth fighters F-35a Lightning Lockheed Martin, although it is considered that other types of aircraft are considered.
These planes have a range of 1400 km, which exceeds the range of other F-35 modifications, and can carry the B61 thermonuclear gravitational bomb-which is expected to use NATO nuclear containment.
The F-35A Lightning will have to become the second pillar of Britain’s nuclear restraint (in addition to submarines) and can be used for a scenario that does not provide a total nuclear war, says The Sunday Times.
Details of re -equipment of the British Army are expected to be outlined in a strategic review of the UK’s defense, which will be released on Monday, June 2.
The 130-page document, among other things, will warn of the “direct and urgent” danger that Russia is.
