Could a navalized Gripen carry a nuclear weapon while F-35Bs suppress enemy air defences?
Short answerIt is treated as theoretically possible if Britain pays for the development, but the aircraft's existing nuclear compatibility is not established.
NotesWhether Gripen has already been designed or supported for nuclear weapons is left uncertain. A nuclear-capable naval version is treated as theoretically possible if the development is funded. That possibility does not establish that a suitable aircraft or weapon integration already exists. Paying to create the capability would add substantial cost.
