The U.S. military buildup has doubled in less than 8 hours since I published my last update.
• 12× F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jets are now en route for deployment. Six have already arrived at RAF Lakenheath, and the remaining six are expected to arrive there shortly before continuing on to the Middle East—likely Al Udeid Air Base, which has hosted F-22 deployments in the past.
• 36× F-16 fighter jets are also on the move and are expected to deploy to the Middle East in the coming hours.
• Two more E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft are preparing to depart for Ramstein Air Base, where they will join two others that arrived earlier today at RAF Mildenhall (SHUCK84, SHUCK85, SHUCK86, SHUCK87).
• 1× E-11A Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) aircraft with the tail numbers 22-9046 is scheduled to arrive at Ramstein Air Base in Germany before heading to the Middle East. There are already 3× BACNs deployed at Prince Sultan AB.
• Finally, a U-2 Dragon Lady reconnaissance aircraft departed RAF Fairford in the U.K. and was reportedly heading toward the Middle East. It may be deployed to Cyprus or Prince Sultan Air Base.
It’s worth noting that the U-2 plays a key role as a communications bridge between the F-22 and F-35.
Big congrats to @takaichi_sanae for the impressive victory in the Diet elections. Looking forward to deepening cooperation across a wide range of issues: Econ, tech, peace, & more.
#Taiwan’s first indigenous submarine SS-711, the #Narwhal, successfully completed its first submerged sea trial, a major step forward for our deterrence capabilities.
China went to meet with Maduro today to discuss joining forces, then Trump captures Maduro the same day.
Savage.
In fact, the Chinese delegation is still in Venezuela.
Trump captures Maduro and sends a powerful message to Xi and China at the same time.
