>Anon knows nothing about aircraft other than what planefags teach anon. What craft are those and is that real?
It was real. The K35R is an aerial refueling platform. Putting that many of them in the sky at once could have a lot of potential strategic meanings.
That you're going to need a lot of aircraft on patrol for some reason, and they are going to need to be able to refuel on the spot;
That they are in danger on the ground and need to be sent up to protect them;
Many possibilities. I don't have more actual info on what we know happened. I just know that was like 5ish days ago.
