🇺🇸🇵🇹Record U.S. Military Aircraft Surge at Lajes Airfield, Azores Lajes Airfield in the Azores experienced a record surge of U.S. military activity between February 18-19. The deployment included at least 11 KC-46 tankers, 12 F-16 fighters, and a C-17 cargo aircraft. Approximately 400 U.S. personnel were also present at the base, signaling a strategic power projection. The U.S. is reportedly transferring so many aircraft to the Middle East because it lacks sufficient intermediate airbases. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
