American Fuel Aircraft Activity Between Crete and Cyprus Raises Escalation Scenarios
Open-source monitoring by Al Jazeera Network detected movements of seven American KC-135R Stratotanker aircraft over the Eastern Mediterranean on July 8. Their routes included circular paths between Europe and the Mediterranean, especially near the islands of Crete and Cyprus. These aircraft aim to support long-range sorties of fighters and reconnaissance missions, indicating the readiness of US air support forces for regional operations amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. It is worth noting that these planes can carry up to approximately 90 tons of fuel each, and are typically used to enhance the endurance of fighter jets in the air.
