Where did the 28 US Air Force refueling planes take off to?
Websites and bloggers tracking aircraft movement reported on Monday morning that 28 U.S. military refueling planes, which also serve America’s strategic bombers, took off simultaneously from the United States.
Users online noted that a military exercise is scheduled to begin today in Finland with the participation of the U.S. Army and that this aircraft movement might be related to it. However, bloggers specializing in intelligence pointed out that this is an unusually large number of refueling aircraft.
Additionally, the current flight path appears to be heading east, toward the Middle East and not in the direction of the exercise in Finland.
This information has left online observers speculating about the final destination of the large refueling planes.
Some are already assuming that the U.S. is preparing for a particularly large operation in the Middle East.
So far, U.S. President Donald Trump has clarified that his country will not intervene militarily in the war between Israel and Iran.
However, he has threatened Iran, stating, “If we are attacked, you will be hit with the full force of the U.S. military.”
