New Military Move from the US to the Middle East: F-22 Raptor Shipment
As tensions in the Middle East increase, it has emerged that the US has made a new military move in line with its policies supporting genocide. The Pentagon has decided to send F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets to air bases in the region. This move is considered part of the US’s efforts to strengthen its military presence.
Departures Every Two and a Half Hours
According to data from Flightradar, the shipment was carried out in two parts. The first group, six F-22 Raptor fighter jets and three KC-46 refueling aircraft, took off from England at around 10:30 am About two and a half hours later, the same number of F-22 and KC-46 aircraft departed for the Middle East. The first shipment is expected to arrive at the US Al-Udeid Air Base at around 4:30 pm, and the second at around 7 pm
Refueling Planes Heading to Middle East
Three US KC-46A refueling aircraft are heading to the Middle East via the Mediterranean. These aircraft will provide the fuel needed to extend the F-22s’ missions.
Shipment Source: Mildenhall Air Force Base
Two F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets took off from Mildenhall Air Base in north London and are heading towards US bases in the Middle East. Mildenhall Air Base is known as a strategic military base used by both the US and the UK.
F-22 Raptor: America’s Secret Weapon
The F-22 Raptor, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, offers the ability to bypass enemy air defenses by becoming virtually invisible thanks to its low radar signature. The US does not even sell this stealth aircraft to Israel, the terror state whose genocide it is the main sponsor of. This situation increases the strategic importance of the F-22 even more.
Air Refueling Process
The F-22 Raptor’s air refueling capability allows these aircraft to conduct long-endurance missions, making them highly effective in both defensive and offensive roles.
