And fuel for the generators for 4 to 6 days is what I’ve read. Then what.
I think the Air Force would fly three or four cargo planes in....with ‘bladders’ of fuel and off-load. They could use a site just outside of Turkey to ‘fill-up’ and hot-land...just off-load and leave. If you did that every other day....you could just keep going.
But it just keeps basic operations going. It doesn’t really do much for all the guys sitting in the summer heat and no AC.
I think this is simply an ace in the deck for Turkey and getting the US to cough up this character in Pennsylvania...over to the Turks. You get the power back, once you hand him over.
Evidently, they don’t recall the Berlin Airlift.
