U.S. Air Force aerial refueling tankers have been observed conducting operations over Jordan. A KC-46A Pegasus and a KC-135R Stratotanker performed refueling maneuvers, which are likely in support of an F-35A Lightning II formation flying in the area. This activity follows the recent buildup of U.S. tankers at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel and the tracking of an F-35A flying from Israel over Jordan. The operations demonstrate ongoing U.S. air force readiness and support missions in the region.
