Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur (Reform) said Estonia would be prepared to host allied fighter jets with nuclear capabilities in the future after the UK said it would buy new F-35 jets that can carry nuclear bombs.

The decision means that Britain’s air force will have a nuclear role for the first time since the end of the Cold War.

The U.K. says it will buy 12 U.S.-made F-35A fighter jets capable of carrying nuclear bombs and join NATO’s shared airborne nuclear mission.
