What emerges from the Steadfast Noon nuclear exercise
Europe wanted its own fighter jet but found itself having to buy the American one. The Eurofighter cannot launch atomic bombs and the future sixth-generation fighter GCAP will not have nuclear capability. Thus, the American F-35 will dictate its rules of superiority for the future.

There are pacifist initiatives that contest what is defined as a "dress rehearsal for atomic war". Italy is at the centre of the nuclear exercise. Today is the fourth day and the horrific procedures for a nuclear attack are being tested. Moscow threatens counter-nuclear exercises.
Italy at the centre of the simulation of a nuclear war. Dutch F-35s are capable of carrying two B61-12 atomic bombs in their bay and can become "invisible" while Italian and German Tornados display atomic bombs under their wings.

Growing opposition to NATO's Steadfast Noon nuclear exercise

NATO exercise Steadfast Noon 2026 times takeoffs and simulates nuclear strike scenarios
Steadfast Noon doesn't involve the use of real nuclear weapons. Instead, it uses practice bombs without warheads. But the entire cycle is reproduced: alert, transport of the bombs from underground storage, assembly on fighters, takeoff, in-flight refueling, attack, and reentry.
The question is whether the government has commissioned a study on the expected deaths and injuries in the event of a nuclear war on the short, medium, and long-term health impacts, and whether, in light of the data, the government intends to suspend Italy's participation in Steadfast Noon.

PeaceLink writes to Defence Minister Guido Crosetto
We request to know what simulation studies have been commissioned regarding the civil and health effects of a nuclear war scenario and what civil emergency plans, particularly health-related ones, have been prepared.
The initiatives in Büchel and Nörvenich have been supported by over 35 organisations
