Middle East Conflict

There are a lot of US military planes arriving in the UK right now. It's going to kick off big soon in the Middle East, I think.

I can confirm that a large number of fighter and transport aircraft have been flying out to Europe over the last week or so, as they primarily come through the area for pilot qualifications, maintenance, and fuel before heading over the Atlantic.

Whether that is a build up for expected conflict in the Middle East, I cannot say.

I think tankers have just come in from Alaska. Two just came over high north Manchester landed at Mildenhall...another 6 following. Would that be normal?

Seems a bit high based on my understanding from living here the last few years and what a few pilots I have talked to have indicated.

But I also don’t know normal schedules or troop deployment levels. And certainly wouldn’t be told when they are ramping up deployments!

I've been taking a break from arguing with right wing sympathiser and I''ve been watching YouTube live from Coningsby with the Raptors arriving. Relaxing but menacing at the same time.
Lakenheath, sorry.

Usually this just means that they're rotating deployed tankers or they could be trailing more fighter jets into Europe. Where they head afterwards (if anywhere) would certainly be interesting.

One crazy thing that I've noticed is the insane level of GPS jamming and spoofing that is happening in Israel. They're even spoofing the position of aircraft in the area to point towards Beirut airport... This is probably to combat the Iranian drone threat.

Go on Flightradar and look at Beirut airport (search: OLBA), sometimes aircraft appear on the ground there which are actually airborne flying hundreds of miles away.

Go on Flightradar and look at Beirut airport (search: OLBA), there are a ton of aircraft that appear on the ground there which are actually airborne and flying hundreds of miles away.

Yeah, I'd noticed the unusual tracking there.

“But we don’t know what the prisoner said to the guards to warrant that ‘corrective action’, so how do we know it was wrong? Besides, Hamas did horrific things to Israelis on 7 October. This just shows that Israel not only has a better control of its soldiers but also still has the moral high ground.” — One of our resident Israeli far-right apologists will undoubtedly tell us shortly
 
Biden administration sending more jets and warships to help Israel along with a billion dollars sent just 3 months ago.

I think if the Israelis crush Palestine and keep Iran at arms length the democrats surely beat Trump to presidency.
