As of 9:39 PM eastern US time on Sunday night, at least seven (7) U.S. Air-Refueling Tankers have taken off from various points in the U.S., appearing to head toward Europe.
To my knowledge there are no NATO military exercises planned for this coming week wherein air-refueling tankers would be used.
So why this sudden burst of tankers heading toward Europe?
Unless . . . . . this week, perhaps . . . . . something really life-altering begins?????
Get right with God.
UPDATE 10:44 PM EDT --
At least three (3) of these tankers are SOAR Tankers out of McConnel AFB in Wichita, KS.
"SOAR tankers" refers to Special Operations Air Refueling tanker aircraft, such as modified KC-135 Stratotankers or other receiver-capable tankers, that provide air-to-air refueling to other military aircraft, especially those involved in special operations.
These tankers offer greater flexibility and capability in complex scenarios, allowing for the consolidation of fuel, longer mission durations for receiver aircraft, and operations with minimal communication and at night.
