There is a K135 tanker in western Iraqi airspace just west of Najaf. Just about the right area for an aerial fuel stop.
A F35’s range is 1350 mi+ and the distance from Tel Aviv to Tehran is 977 miles by air. Curious indeed.
And the K135 just went dark. All considered somethings up.
FWIW, it’s not unusual for a KC-135 to be up over Iraq. I see them frequently. But agree… worth noting.
[And the K135 just went dark.]
Landed? Turned off identification? (doubtful?)
[All considered something’s up.]
Wish we had more confirmation.
