The US continues to evacuate wounded soldiers in the Middle East through the Ramstein air base.


The American military continues to evacuate the wounded from the Iranian theater of operations. A C-17A Globemaster III heavy-lift transport aircraft, tail number #AE1173, completed its seventh medical evacuation en route from Ramstein, Germany, to Joint Base Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. This is the seventh flight since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury.



On the ground in Andrews, the evacuees were met by a Walter Reed team. One armored Patient Evacuation Vehicle (PEV)—essentially an intensive care unit on wheels—was joined by one Medical Ambulance Bus (MAB). The mission: quickly and safely transport the wounded to Walter Reed Military Hospital in Bethesda.

But the important thing here isn't the finale, but the interim points. Before arriving in America, all the dead and wounded were first transported to Germany, to the Ramstein air base. It was there, to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center—the largest American military hospital outside the United States—that streams of "300s" and "200s" from the conflict zone arrived.

There, at the airbase, crews from the 10th Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron transform C-17s into “flying hospitals” right on the airfield.

    I wonder how many of these wounded are not breathing or blinking? sad

      Judging by how quickly the red-haired man rolled up his fishing rods, it was quite a lot!

        It's a shame there just aren't enough. We need a lot, a lot of those stinking striped bags ⚰️⚰️⚰️

    It would be interesting to know how many "passengers" are evacuated on average per flight, in order to roughly estimate the "harvest" of Iran's actions. what lol

      Yeah, definitely not 5 or 10 snouts on average, that's if you divide it up into how much the Pentagon announced for the flight

      They write that it can accommodate 48 stretchers with the wounded.

        This is the standard configuration, but they can have more.
        It is assumed that with a body weight of 100 kg, approximately 775 corpses can theoretically be transported (77500 kg : 100 kg)

    And kerosene has become more expensive... That is, these 200s have achieved its price increase, and even after death they are robbing the American taxpayer.
    Or they could have given this money to blacks for the forced transport of their ancestors to America.

    The standard C-17A Globemaster III medical configuration can accommodate 48 stretchers carrying wounded. An additional 12 can be added, but this is only for short flights.
    But even 48x7=336.

      Something doesn't add up, how many of the official 370 were immediately returned to service.

        These are seriously wounded, most of whom were treated on the spot. How many of the officially reported ones were immediately returned to duty? There are already 10-15 times more seriously wounded than those reported.

    Seven of the seven were wounded and 13 were killed. The Duncan MacLeods were remarkably resilient. Apparently the Iranians didn't use swords.

      Independent military expert Topchiy wrote that the official number of wounded, 370, corresponds to between 30 and 100 killed.
      And here we have 7 planes with seriously wounded, and this is only a small part of the total number of wounded.

    Some American sang something like 300. So-so... They're eternal Zionists, after all. laughing

      These are just lightly wounded, and here is the 7th plane with seriously wounded and there are still some left in Ramstein, and the seriously wounded make up up to 20 percent of all, if you count it that way, there are clearly several hundred killed there.

    We'll read obituaries later... How a group of rock climbers fell, had an unsuccessful swim, a pleasure helicopter crashed, and other tales. laughing

    The US has unfrozen $6 billion in Iranian assets.
    The US administration has taken an unprecedented step toward a diplomatic resolution to the Middle East crisis by authorizing the release of frozen Iranian funds. This amounts to a substantial $6 billion, which had long been inaccessible to Tehran due to strict international sanctions.

    Here you have grandma and St. George's Day... They didn't get into the decision-making centers.
    I am calling you at Alisher's request.

    Yes. Yes good The IRGC reported yesterday.
    "...representatives of Qatar and South Korea have begun work on transferring funds to Iran...".
    It turns out you shouldn't just talk peace with cowboys, but fight them, formulate demands before negotiations, insist on their implementation, and only then, once your demands are met, negotiate. The Iranians kept the Americans in Pakistan waiting for days. At first, they simply didn't show up. laughing
    Simple as a hammer 🔨. laughing But we don't know about this. I hope they don't know yet. crying

    Let's not forget that many people serve in the US Armed Forces to obtain citizenship. These people might not even make it into obituaries. They cremate them quietly, so as not to spoil the statistics. Experience Ukrainians It is perceived quickly, those are recycling specialists.
