US attack formation at Diego Garcia

New satellite imagery reveals a US offensive formation at the Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean. The images show the deployment of 4 fighter-bombers, 4 tanker aircraft, 3 heavy transport planes, and one maritime patrol aircraft. Military analysts note such a formation typically takes shape hours to days before the first wave of air operations begins. The base is a critical logistical hub with infrastructure to support heavy bombers, tankers, and naval assets for operations across the Indian Ocean and West Asia.
