Nuclear Option for Europe

I also heard at ILA from various folk - that the marketing of the F-35 to likes of two NATO nations Belgium and Germany, takes into consideration the nuclear commitment. Typhoon is being marketed to the Belgian Air Component while 90 odd are on order as Tonka replacement for the Luftwaffe. I am led to believe that the F-35 can carry the bog standard US bucket of sunshine whereas the Typhoon has not been cleared for bucket of sunshine even here.

Please can anyone shed any light on this or am I hearing BS?

cheers
