“The F-35 may carry one of the US’s most polarizing nuclear weapons sooner than expected.” Jan. 12, 2017 …”The Air Force originally planned to integrate nuclear weapons in the F-35 between 2020-2022, but Air Force Brig. Gen. Scott Pleus told Defensetech.org that “it would definitely be possible,” to hasten the deployment of B-61 nuclear gravity bombs on the F-35 should the need for it arise.” … …”So while the F-35 may provide a stealthy, sleek new delivery method for nuclear bombs, they may destabilize already fraught relations between the world’s two greatest nuclear powers — Russia and the US.
PLEASE RAISE YOUR VOICE IN OPPOSITION TO BASING A FLEET OF F-35 JETS IN VERMONT. Thank you, Cris Ericson
