Not Bottlenecks, But Strategic Opportunities: Making Room for More U.S. Refueling Tankers in Israel
The United States has been moving its aerial refueling tankers to Israel at a rapid rate. No fewer than 14 additional U.S. aerial refuelers were deployed to Israel between July 18 and 20, and dozens more are expected to follow. On August 1, Israeli media reported that 10 more refueling tankers would arrive that week. According to Israel’s Walla News, the U.S. military plans to station 100 aerial refueling tankers across the country—over 20 percent of the global U.S. refueling tanker fleet.
