Finland Moves Toward Nuclear Sharing with US Using F-35 Jets Near Russia

Finland is reportedly moving closer to an agreement with the United States on the joint use of nuclear weapons deployed on fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets near the Russian border, according to Military Watch Magazine. The country is expected to receive a total of 64 such aircraft. F-35 as Nuclear Delivery Platform The F-35 is widely considered an optimal platform for delivering nuclear weapons. Its internal weapons bays are capable of carrying two B61 nuclear bombs, while its advanced stealth features and electronic warfare capabilities significantly increase survivability during deep-strike missions. According to the publication's assessment, a single B61-13 nuclear bomb could result in catastrophic casualties if used against a major city, highlighting the destructive potential associated with such systems.
