Russia is raising a stink about F-16s in Ukraine by saying they’re nuclear-capable, even though the types of warplanes already deployed there can carry nukes

“Russia said Monday it would treat F-16s in Ukraine as an escalation because they’re nuclear-capable.
Its foreign ministry said it would consider the delivery of the jets as a “purposeful provocation.”

Meanwhile, the warplanes already used by Ukraine can be fitted to deploy nukes, too.”
