In a controversial military move, US military sources announced that about 12 Fuel aircraft took off a “KC-135 Statotanker” atmosphere of multiple air bases in the United States, heading east across the Atlantic Ocean towards Europe.
Reports indicated that this type of move had previously happened before major military operations, but the American official authorities have not issued an official comment yet, noting that it could be linked to routine or strategic reserve exercises.
This development raises questions about American intentions in Europe and the Middle East, amid fears of a wider regional escalation.
