Ten US military aircraft arrive in Israel as Americans warn of 'short, focused' Iran war - report
|
[Jpost] According to the report, the aircraft landed at the Ovda and Nevatim IAF air bases, with Nevatim home to several F-35I squadrons.
Ten US Air Force (USAF) transport aircraft arrived at IAF bases in southern Israel as part of a larger Middle East air convoy transferring military equipment across the region, KAN News reported on Thursday.
The aircraft, which came from Texas' Fort Bliss base, are likely stocked with air defense systems intended to protect regional assets amid reported US warnings earlier this week of a potential "short, focused war with Iran," according to KAN.
Fort Bliss base hosts one of the US military's largest air defense stockpiles, with the report suggesting that the aircraft may be replenishing US interceptor missiles in Israel on systems like THAAD and Patriot.
Other aircraft in the air convoy landed in Jordan, Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, and Saudi Arabia
 ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
, with the KAN report coming after an earlier report that the US had transferred an additional Patriot system to the region pending a potential escalation with Iran.
The report did not specify which transport aircraft arrived in Israel, though they are likely C-5M Super Galaxys, C-17 Globemaster IIIs, or a combination of the two, since both can lift such heavy cargo.
According to the report, the aircraft landed at the Ovda and Nevatim IAF air bases, with Nevatim home to several F-35I squadrons.
US, ISRAEL CLOSELY COORDINATING ON IRAN, SOURCE TELLS KAN
An Israeli source told KAN that the US and Israel are closely coordinating on Iran, with reports that an additional US naval aircraft carrier will join American forces in the region, alongside an additional Marine unit.
"Although a decision has not yet been made on the matter, the Americans and Israel are preparing for any decision that [US] President [Donald] Trump makes," the source said.
Additional reports cited by KAN said that US forces across the Middle East are replenishing weapons stockpiles, with some American troops ordered to leave the region.
