Without any doubt, this will make the F35A more when it is able to evade detection using its stealth capability...But then again, against a peer competitor, I don't see much of an advantage? Firstly, it has limited range unlike the B2, B21 and B52. Secondly it is not the most effective nuclear warhead delivery system? Amongst the 3 existing nuclear warhead delivery system, which are land, sea and air, the so-called nuclear triads, I would say the most effective is sea using submarines. Last but not least, Russia and China already have the capability to detect and target stealth fighters/bombers.
My conclusion is that this is not a game-changer. However, Russia's Poseidon Nuclear Drone is. So are the hypersonic missiles which the US is now playing catch-up?

I hope these constantly falling planes do not crash into a city while carrying nuclear bombs.
