Mystery fleet of US Air Force tankers crossing Atlantic

SUMMARY

A fleet of KC-135R/T Stratotankers from the US Air Force was tracked crossing the Atlantic, coinciding with Donald Trump’s upcoming military meetings. Around a dozen tankers were reported heading to RAF Mildenhall, suggesting urgent military refueling needs. The movement echoes a previous deployment before airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Sources indicate that Trump's meeting with military leaders could discuss pressing national security issues. This unusual gathering includes hundreds of generals from various locations. The timing raises concerns, especially amid rising tensions in other regions, including Russian activities in the Baltic Sea and a large NATO exercise over the North Sea.
