Flight-tracking websites showed dozens of Air Force aerial refueling planes departing from military bases in the United States and heading to Europe on Sunday, fueling speculation of direct U.S. involvement in the widening Israeli-Iranian war.

Military-focused news sites reported that around 30 U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers were identified by flight-tracking software in what The Times of Israelcalled an “unprecedented mass deployment” to Europe.

    Can’t win a ground war. And they know it. Hence the 30 air tankers. Gonna be another shock and awe air campaign. Except half of the middle east or more will be taking part.

    Guess its time for the US to lose another war. We haven’t won one since the Soviets won WWII for us.

      They have hypersonic missiles, which the US or any western country fails to make.
      They can hit targets as far as the US base in Cyprus.
      Up to now they didn’t even use their best missiles against the genocider entity, and already the Iron Sieve is failing.
      F-35’s down etc…
      US pissed off when attacked even by Ansar Allah in Yemen. And jets happened to fall in the water a few times. LOL
      This will be no Afghanistan, this will hurt.
