  "description": "Estonia has announced its readiness to host allied NATO F-35 fighter jets capable of carrying nuclear weapons. This follows the United Kingdom's decision to purchase 12 F-35A multirole fighters from the United States, which can deploy both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. According to Estonia's Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur, F-35 fighters have already been deployed as part of NATO's rotational air policing mission in Estonia, with plans for continued rotations including those capable of employing such platforms. Additionally, Estonia is advancing its Baltic Defense Line with fortifications along the border with Russia, aiming to build bunkers, storage facilities, and anti-tank ditches by fall 2025 to bolster its defense capabilities.",
