What does modern in case of aircrafts even mean? And can't the Dassault Rafale carry nuclear weapons?
-
The nuclear weapons in Germany are from the US, and the US refuses to help adapt them for fighter jets other than US made.
-
Since nukes are under US control, why does Germany need to carry them?
-
The NATO nuclear weapons sharing agreement allows Germany to use ~15 American nuclear weapons when under attack.

You need tiers of capability. Nukes are one, but a more readily used one is the ability to knock out (or at least suppress) ground based air defense. Stealth aircraft like the F-35 are perfect for this mission, they can get in range, fire off an anti-radiation missile, and get out. Non-stealth aircraft may be forced to turn back before they get their shot off, thus leaving the enemy air-defense active and forcing a scrub of the planned attack on what the air defense was defending.
