I’m no expert but people who follow this pointed out that the tankers seem to have refueled aircraft over the Mediterranean and Red Sea that don’t seem to have their flight trackers on. Could be the fighter jets that escorted it in from the US, F16s and F35s, but it could also be B2 bombers.
Israel only has 340 operational aircraft. This amount of fuel tankers in the Middle East either means that Israel is doing a full air campaign with all their air assets or the US Air Force is conducting strikes as well…
So it begins
Yes most fighter/bomber aircraft, and some military cargo aircraft will not show on the civilian flight radar. Not to worry though, I can assure you no US fighters or bombers are conducting strikes… yet.
The B-2 is a stealth bomber designed to be invisible to radar, so the whole point is not being seen. If a refueling plane had its tracker on while topping off a B-2, it could give away the bomber’s location and flight path. So yeah, during a mission like that, the tanker and the B-2 are basically flying dark to stay hidden. Plus they’re flying civilian air traffic corridors.
Us Brits have just moved a decent amount of Typhoons to Cyprus over last couple of days so could be being used to refuel them possibly 🤷♂️
They’re refueling over Saudi Arabia now, they’re getting closer.
Did the B-2’s leave Sicily or England? They can’t take off unnoticed
This is like a heavy weight boxer punching an ill person in a wheel chair, repeatedly.
