At this moment, 12 A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft are being redeployed from Bangor Air Base
…in Bangor, Maine…
to RAF Lakenheath in the UK, supported by aerial refueling tankers.

▪️ The move suggests preparations for potential expanded operations, with additional close air support assets being positioned in Europe before a possible transfer to the Middle East.

▪️ The deployment could be aimed at supporting ground forces if operations escalate.
