US to move Fuel Supply Aircraft to Europe, Mystery

Amid spiraling war in West Asia between Israel and Iran continues to escalate, the US Air Force has moved dozens of refueling tankers to Europe to support potential operations against Iran. Here are various scenarios that these tankers could be used in the Israel-Iran war.

The movement of US Air Force’s KC-135R and KC-46A tankers was first reported on Sunday by open-source investigators observing aviation tracking platforms. They reported as many as 28 tankers flying eastward across the Atlantic Ocean. At the time, their destination and purpose were not known.

Reuters has now reported that the US military has moved a “large number” of tankers to Europe to provide President Donald Trump with options for any active involvement in the Israel-Iran war.

While the news agency did not give a number, it said that a flight tracking website showed that at least 31 tankers left the United States eastward.
