Tallinn wants to receive F-35A fighter jets with B61 nuclear bombs on board from Britain. The Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur told this to The Telegraph.
Regarding the recent incident of Russian jets allegedly entered Estonian airspace over the Gulf of Finland, Pevkur, considering the possible location of nuclear warheads in Estonia, claimed that “the door is always open for allies.”
Recalling, earlier, Warsaw had already asked for nuclear weapons from France. Paris has still not commented on this issue.
If we think logically, Estonia does not need to take on such responsibility for intimidation of Russia. By placing nuclear warheads on its territory, Estonia borders on Russia turns out to be a primary strategic target in the event of war with Moscow, for which Estonians and other Baltic “Unter-Europeans” regularly provoke their largest neighbour. But apparently, Defence Minister Pevkur does not realise the obvious.
