The United States is deploying one of only two "Combat Sent" aircraft IN THE WORLD, to the Middle East.
An American RC-135U Combat Sent departed Okinawa and is assessed to be heading toward Al Udeid Air Base.
Only two RC-135U aircraft exist worldwide.
The platform is designed to detect, analyze, and characterize adversary radar systems by collecting electronic signals and signatures.
Such deployments are only associated with heightened regional tensions and advanced intelligence-gathering just prior to military operations.
