GENERAL: PENTAGON WORKING TO GIVE F-35 JSF NUCLEAR-STRIKE CAPABILITY
The Defense Department and a handful of allies have launched an effort
to ensure the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program is capable of
conducting the most devastating mission in modern warfare --
delivering a nuclear bomb.
Ugh.....
let's cross well the fingers, there's already a mess, and a -D version,
available to select few, has all the potential to sink the entire
program......
* * * * Why another version? It would simply be a Block X update to
* * * * whatever was fielded. What after all is the difference between
* * * * nuclear and non-nuclear capable aircraft? Basically some form
* * * * of safety gear related to weapon fusing.

Its a bit more than that. Takes a lot of work to be nuclear certified.
