RAF Lakenheath Asset Moves Update #FreeIran

--- "Operation LION & SUN" ---

Potential for quite a lot of movements from RAF Lakenheath in the next 24-48hrs. At present we have:

12x F-15E "Strike Eagle" (SJ) jets
12x F-35A "Lightning II" (HL) jets
13x F-22A "Raptor" (FF) jets

Plus Lakenheath's own remaining complement of F-15E and F-35A jets, with potential support from up to 25 tankers at RAF Mildenhall, including:

3x KC-46A "Pegasus"
5x KC-135T "Stratotanker"
17x KC-135R "Stratotanker"

I expect tomorrow will be a busy day

Another Bombardier E-11A Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) is heading from CONUS to the Middle East/Europe theater.

The plane is set to join 5 other BACN platforms already deployed in that region. The U.S. Air Force is known to operate 9 of these overall.
