US lenghtens airstrip in Syria
From BBC news 35 minutes ago
Syria conflict: 'US expanding air strip' in Kurdish north - BBC News What kind of use would a 1300 metre runway be put to use for beside Hercules muniton deliveries as mentioned and does this mean some form of escalation by the US? |
probably get some drones off it as well................
but I'd guess mainly to supply "insurgents" (or teh good guys/rebels/shia/kurds.....) |
At 1300m/4200ft you could go a bit bigger than a Herc ;)
|
Yes, the interesting question is what aircraft, and whose, would be operating in and out of Syria.
|
Suitable for a C-17.
C-17 Globemaster III > U.S. Air Force > Fact Sheet Display And they have 2 brigades worth of heavy vehicles, including MRAPS, artillery and helicopter gunships sitting in Kuwait due for delivery to the Kurdish peshmerga this month. Two Kurdish Peshmerga Brigades to Be Armed and Trained by US in January |
Easy for a C-17
C-17's, for sure, could get in & out.
