The UK will purchase 12 new F-35A fighter jets and join NATO’s dual capable aircraft nuclear mission in a major boost for national security.

WTF!?

    Good to know Lockheed Martin has the same strangle hold on the UK as the US. You guys might want to fix that before Nigel or Boris make themselves king or supreme chancellor.

    Good to see UK step up in this regard, Europe needs to bolster its own nuclear deterrent independent of the USA as the USA is no longer a trustable partner.

      I’m not sure if buying American equipment is a good way to rid ourselves of our dependence on America.
      It allows America to control our supply of spare parts and software updates, and it doesn’t bolster the European defence industry.
