US refueler leaves Bulgaria early
American KC-135 refueling aircraft departed from Buzmber Air Base in Bulgaria before their authorized stay ended. Their deployment was scheduled from July to October 2026 to support operations in the Middle East. Although approval was granted for up to eight aircraft, only two were deployed, both receiving the green light on July 31. These aircraft did not conduct any southern flights; their activity was limited to training within allied airspace. The operation took place about 300 kilometers east of Sofia, and Bulgarian authorities have confirmed that the mission has concluded and the aircraft have left.
