U.S. KC-135 Stratotankers Head to Greece to Support European Command
*Kris Osborn* *U.S. Air Force, Europe* The tankers are part of a new deployment of 500 U.S. troops aimed at bolstering NATO’s eastern flank. Tanker-supported fighter jets are able to massively extend their “dwell time” over target areas, allowing them to respond to new target information, pursue multiple target locations on a single attack sortie, and reach otherwise inaccessible areas. These factors are likely a large reason why the Pentagon is now sending a number of KC-135 Stratotankers to Greece.
