The US continues to deploy strategic bombers to Britain.

The United States continues to deploy strategic bombers to the UK. Following the B-1 Lancers, B-52H Stratofortresses have begun arriving at Fairford Air Force Base, according to British media reports.

Trump is clearly preparing a new, powerful strike against Iran by continuing to concentrate strategic bombers in the UK. Over the past Friday and weekend, eight B-1 Lancer strategic bombers landed at RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire, in southern England. Today, March 9, three B-52H Stratofortresses arrived there within hours of each other.



At least three US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress strategic bombers have arrived at Fairford Air Force Base in the UK to carry out the Pentagon's plan to escalate strikes against Iran.

Thus, there are now eleven American strategists in the UK. It remains to be seen whether the US will limit its presence to this number or whether their number will increase.

In addition to the strategic bombers, two US Air Force C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft and one C-5 Super Galaxy have also been deployed to the airbase. There is no precise information about the cargo, but it is reportedly "equipment and spare parts" for the strategic bombers.

Trump previously promised new "powerful" strikes against Iran, saying the US "hasn't even started."

      A crisis of the genre. They're simply making excuses for the lack of results. They were expecting an easy ride and a protest uprising. But things could still swing one way or the other.

      The Israeli air force employed its favorite tactic. By deploying a swarm of drones into Iranian airspace, it organized a continuous intelligence gathering operation on the positions of Iranian ballistic missile launchers, air defense systems, aircraft, and Shahed 136 attack drones. Using this information, its aircraft launched strikes with Rampage and Silver Sparrow air-to-air ballistic missiles from a safe distance, often without entering Iranian airspace at all.

      The US employed its favorite tactic – strikes with cruise missiles from ships and submarines, and cruise missiles from aircraft. Almost immediately after the first few waves of airstrikes, the Americans switched to hunting air defense systems, destroying them from the air, and began attacking targets in Iran, invading Iranian airspace. By the end of the second day of the operation, the depth of Iranian territory targeted by Israel and the US was 500 kilometers from the state border. As expected, Iran's air defenses remained silent. While Iran managed to shoot down a significant number of Hermes and Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), they failed to down a single manned aircraft. Iranian air power has also remained silent. On the contrary, an Israeli F-35I shot down an Iranian Yak-130 over Tehran.

      By early March 2, the Israeli Air Force announced it had begun ground bombing, citing that there was no longer any threat to its aircraft. The United States has been systematically using B-2 Spirit and B-52 Stratofortress bombers against Iran, with the former penetrating deep into Iranian airspace. Three US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter-bombers mistakenly shot down a Kuwaiti fighter jet in Kuwaiti airspace. American media claim that only days remain before the offensive in Iranian Kurdistan begins.

        Since the strategists are flying, it means they will carry something heavy, something anti-bunker...

        So, Iran's resistance has not been suppressed at all...

      China is preparing a response to the spider web. Video at the link.

      In China, loitering munitions are being mass-produced that are very similar to Shahed/Geranium.

      Monthly production is up to 10000 units.

      In the event of a military conflict, China is capable of increasing production to 1 million per month.

      And now the Chinese are ready to launch up to 8 million drones at once.

      And to avoid fighting two wars at once, Trump could end the war with Iran at any moment, declaring himself the winner in the media. Iran's leadership would likely agree to a ceasefire, as no one wants a US nuclear strike on Tehran.

    Yes, the S-400 and 500 would be very useful for the Persians right now, but they backed out of the deal at the time, and it would be tempting to see the outcome. On the other hand, Russian aircraft are flying to Iran, delivering something...

    Iran launched a new wave of attacks on US and Israeli targets using super-heavy missiles, the IRGC reported. The strikes targeted five US strategic bases in the Middle East, as well as Israeli bases near Tel Aviv and Haifa.

    A military helicopter crashed in the UAE, killing two service members. The country's Ministry of Defense reported a technical malfunction as the cause. Other sources report friendly fire while repelling a UAV attack.

    Russia must declare that this is a threat to national security and sovereignty, because the range of the bombers is critical...

      Russia owes nothing to anyone. The USSR kept silent during the first Gulf War, so why should Russia say anything?
      This aircraft, like other Royal Air Force aircraft, has been used by the US Air Force since WWII.

      They already did this, striking British bases in Cyprus at the beginning of the war. Incidentally, the 11th Army Corps of the Turkish Army (two divisions) is stationed in Cyprus (in the occupied part of it). Isn't that a victim of circumstance?

      They might attack the Russian Federation and not right now, they will just leave them there for a while, believing that this fact will be forgotten.
      The Finns have been subjugated by NATO, the Baltic states have been given three tanks for every Estonian soldier, Poland has as much equipment as a fool can buy candy wrappers, and Romania has a missile defense deployment area, supposedly against Iran. They're taking their time, methodically preparing their strike force. Remember when NATO moved east, then Ukraine. It couldn't be closer. I wouldn't be surprised if the West supplies Ukraine with any kind of nuclear weapon, from dirty bombs to 155mm shells. Better safe than sorry, I think.

    This isn't quite aimed at Iran. It's somewhat reminiscent of the situation with the missile defense radars that were also built in Europe against Iran.

    An old woman on the tram today was telling me that the deployment of American strategic bombers to the British Isles is intended to reset the entire world back in time 200-300 years. In Europe, the fires of the Holy Inquisition will once again blaze, in the US, the hunt for Indian scalps will begin again, which the government will purchase for $2 apiece, and in a northern country where a state is impossible without robbing its own citizens, serfdom will be introduced. recourse

    Well, Trump isn't that crazy, and neither are his generals, along with Congress and the Senate. Otherwise, the British airfield would turn into glass and rubble along with the planes.
    And yes, since they are driving strategists to our borders, maybe it’s time to start conducting all sorts of tests on Novaya Zemlya.

    If you're being optimistic about this, yes. Trump plans to fly planes against Iran from Britain. That's the end of geography. Why not from Romania?
    When Trump valiantly launched missiles at Syria during his first term, some of which simply fell overboard from ships, he asked our guarantor where our soldiers and the Russian National Guard were stationed.
    So go ahead and downvote and laugh. I won't do that.
    Good luck to you.

    Iran has launched several strikes on airbases in the region, two carrier strike groups are ineffective, and the strike force is now without a significant number of bases. Therefore, the US needs to expand its strike infrastructure—hence the need for B-52Hs. Furthermore, they are the ones capable of carrying airborne Tomahawks.
    So I think there will be some restoration of the scale of strikes on Iran from the skies of Syria and Iraq.
