Signs of possible U.S. B-2 activity emerging. Eyes on Iran, the next 24 hours may matter. ๐
๐จ๐บ๐ธ UNUSUAL U.S. AIR FORCE ACTIVITY RAISES QUESTIONS
Eight KC-135 Stratotankers have landed in Hawaii, a transit hub previously used ahead of Juneโs Middle East operations involving Iranian nuclear sites.
Now, two KC-135Rs have departed Hawaii and are heading west, drawing fresh attention to U.S. military movements.
This is just ADS-B, which aircraft can turn off at any time by switching off the XPDR. The US is absolutely capable of moving planes in secret (at least relative to the general public, as KC-135s show up on radar). Whenever you see military aircraft show up on a flight tracker, they either don't care about being seen, or are saber rattling. The Trump USAF loves to show off when it repositions aircraft though, so I imagine the coming forward deployment of a B-2 to Diego Garcia or Al-Udeid will be done with XPDRs on, parking in open air, and a Twitter post to accompany the flight.
