The media reported on Britain's desire to purchase American fighter jets

The UK is planning to purchase American fighter planes armed with tactical weapons. This was reported on May 31 by the British newspaper The Times.

"The UK wants to acquire fighter jets capable of firing tactical nuclear weapons as part of a major expansion of deterrence capabilities," the statement said.

According to the newspaper, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has begun negotiations with the Pentagon on this issue.

"The country's Defense Minister, John Healy, and the Chief of the Defense Staff of the British Armed Forces, Tony Radakin, are seeking to purchase American-made fighter jets capable of launching gravity bombs with less power than conventional nuclear warheads," the publication noted.

According to The Times, the success of acquiring American fighter jets armed with tactical weapons could be the largest for Britain since the Cold War.

Earlier in the day, Starmer announced the construction of at least six military factories in the UK. The authorities intend to strengthen the fighting forces and begin the "renewal of the country" by creating new jobs throughout the state.
