Dozens of US Military Planes Have Been Moved to Bases in Europe, Flight Tracking Data Shows
The US has moved dozens of its Air Force planes to bases in Europe in recent days amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, flight tracking data analysed by Euronews shows.
Euronews' verification team, Euroverify, was able to track 30 flights which took off in a short space of time, between 01.000 and 05.00 UTC on June 16th, using flight tracker Flightradar24.
They included at least 13 KC-135Rs, which are mostly refuelling tankers.
The aircraft were destined for various US air bases in Europe. We tracked 11 jets headed towards the Morón Air Base in southern Spain and 7 towards Ramstein base in Germany. Others were destined for bases in Glasgow, Greece, Estonia, Italy and Belgium.
Most had been deployed from Air Force bases in Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan. We also tracked one AIr Force jet that had departed from San Juan, Puerto Rico, where the US has a National Guard base.
Moreover, The Associated Press reported that the United States moved air force refueling tankers and C17s overnight to European bases in Prestwick, Scotland, and Aviano in Italy, according to Aurora Intel, a group that reviews open source information in real time in the Middle East.
The US has been shifting military aircraft and warships into and around the Middle East to protect Israel from Iranian attacks as President Donald Trump warns Tehran to step back from the conflict. Trump is reportedly considering US intervention, although is facing significant opposition from US lawmakers.
