Theres something big going down

Ive never seen this many tankers and heavy transport planes in the air at once, and theyre all headed the same direction. there's more taking off every 10 minutes or so.

Its happening...

>>63843108 (OP)
Calling it: nothing happens.

>>63843108 (OP)
We're going to Iran aren't we...

>>63843119
god i hope not
what could be a logical explanation though?
at best were about to help them bomb the shit out of iran

>>63843108 (OP)
Israeli charity drive. Pls understand.

>>63843125
its mostly tankers though, we aint sending them gas

>Air Force 1 is flying west
G7 summit innit

>>63843157
yeah its in canada I noticed that
its for the G7 ye

wtf is going on in Calgary

>>63843119
above iran

>>63843124
that's going into Iran you idiot.

>>63843119
>we

>>63843167
lots of world leaders going to the G7 which is being held west of calgary, basically exactly where that canadian military airbus is circling

>>63843172
It doesn't end with just throwing some bombs, ground war to follow

this big boy left from Langley, what kind of spooky stuff is onboard?

>>63843161
The bombing run could be timed to coincide with the G7 event. It's common historically for people to use those events to strongarm power blocs into unity messages about controversial interventions.

>>63843185
never gonna happen

>>63843195
the CIA is sending djinns to fight in Iran

How many tankers in the air? Can be used to estimate the size of the raid.

>>63843108 (OP)
They're air lifting shit to Israel, retard. Did you miss the whole war thing?

>>63843108 (OP)
>18 planes? In the air? All at the same time?

>>63843219
Still weird to me how one day, for no reason at all, anglophone culture switched from "genie" to "[d]jinn" without anyone acknowledging this

>>63843233
youre right its probably nothing

>>63843219
The Skinwalker counterattack will bring everything in order.

>>63843236
Because "genie" is a pop culture magical creature. A "djinni" is a figure from Arabian mythology. One comes from the other, but they're not the same.

>>63843221
23 right now with more taking off every 10 min or so
theres also 3 globe masters

>>63843108 (OP)
>it's not homo during a flight
>5 minutes later

>>63843252
I know, but the idea that randoms raised on disney who have no interest in mythology also switched for this reason is an obvious nonstarter.

I actually hate stratotankers those fucking things are loud as shit at night all the way up there at 35,000 feet

>>63843236
It's the same dynamic that makes people call it "kyiv" or "firenze"
They're trying to look culturally aware. Fauxthentixity.

>U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa will participate in Atlantic Trident 25, a joint, multinational exercise bringing together Finnish, French, U.K., and U.S. forces to strengthen fourth- and fifth-generation integration and improve combat readiness, June 16 to 27.
>Finland will host this iteration of the biannual tactical-level training exercise, marking not only an expansion of the training scenarios, but also the first time it has been hosted outside of the recurring trilateral partners – the United States, United Kingdom and France.
>Aircraft scheduled to participate include the Finnish F/A-18 Hornet; U.S. Air Force F-35A Lightning II, F-15E Strike Eagle, and KC-135 Stratotanker; French Rafale, E-3F AWACS, A330 MRTT, and A400M; and U.K. Eurofighter Typhoon.

>>63843312
20+ tankers? at 10pm the day before? idk man
we wont have an answer until they land i guess

>>63843312
They'd be going up over quebec and Labrador if they were going to Finland

>>63843308
>"kyiv" or "firenze"
I accept these spellings, but I will never spell Cologne the German way because I refuse to learn the keyboard command for making umlauts out of respect for my great-grandfather who died at the Meuse-Argonne.

update for lazy
3 more took off from florida

>>63843108 (OP)
You guys do realize that if they were supporting actual combat missions, they'd probably turn off their civvie transponders?

>>63843355
im guessing they will once theyre out of our airspace

>>63843226
these are repositioning flights: their altitude is way too high for dragging anything across the pond.

>>63843333
You're speaking English. Both those cities have English names that work perfectly well to describe them. You don't need some made-up transliteration from people who don't even speak God's Language.
Same with genies.

>>63843355
Why would they do that over Nova Scotia

>>63843355
>>63843361
or the ones were seeing are only the ones that havent turned of transponders off and there's actually 300 tankers in the air
>>63843363
why couldnt they be dragging fighters and bombers with them up there? ive never heard of that being a limitation

>>63843267
Is it? I prefer to use the actual name for things instead of the pop culture alternative when I can
Is why I call magazines magazines instead of clips, for example

3 more just took off.
realistically how many fighters/bombers can each of these drag across the pond?

>>63843119
It's really single
If you don't help us we crash the stock market tomorrow
Trump is an idiot bu he understand his place. He will help

>>63843449
none. they fly too high for any dragging.

>>63843119
be stupid not to. it has no air defense, we can get some xp for our pilots, test out some weapon systems, and earn good will across the middle east (except quatar)

Nah bro, dont you remember Putin and Shoigu's wacko shaman beliefs or the cult that was exposed at the top of South Korea a while back. Materialist rationalists countries elites are overwhelmingly not. Shits fucked.

>>63843524
lower air density makes any maneuvering sluggish

Trips and nukes are dropping.

>>63843449
Considering the number, this seem more likely to support IAF assets already on theatre.

I don’t really care about Israel but if we have a prime opportunity to end the Iranian menace once and for all I will not shed any tears for them, maybe we can have some semblance of peace in the region without them funding proxy armies.

>>63843569
No, anon. You're not allowed to want to see the annoying fuckers who've been doing their best to disrupt the region forever and have been actually a major source of pain in the past year crushed, or you're a heckin Jew.

>>63843544
I remember Orthodox priests blessing T-80/T-72/T-62/T-55/T-54 tanks and plate carriers among other things like 40k props and the feminist cabal in Worst Korea, but this is too retarded. Not that it would surprise me, ragheads are a special kind of stupid after all.

No, I just don't believe in code switching for English words. It's like saying "loath AHNhooleeth" when you want to say Los Angeles.

Would that even be haram? I'm not a Muslim and I'm not exactly au fait with the theological distinctions of various sects (I have no doubt there are some here who are), but didn't Solomon command djinn in the Quran, and don't djinn possess free will (ie are neither good nor evil)? I distinctly remember that whether or not it was ok for muslims to fuck djinn was left open enough that there had to be judgements on it, so it seems like talking to them shouldn't be a big deal. I feel like I'm missing something here.

isn't that completely dependent on the jet stream pattern specific to each day?
You can see on Flightradar that almost all eastbound transatlantic flights seem to be taking advantage of this.

Finland is far enough north that the great circle route in a straight line up north over Labrador might be faster but I'm not an expert

>>63843811
>>63843785
>>63843321
for what its worth, this is the commercial flight path. those tankers were headed pretty much straight east.
not that finland would be able to house that many planes anyway probably.

>>63843684
I don't think the Djinns are the issue. It's using a sorcerer as your middleman.

>>63843236
>>63843308
Acting culturally aware while mocking something often makes the mockery funnier though. Like if I was writing a scathing insult about turkey that's the one context where I might copy paste their new spelling. I think the OP is funnier with djinn.

>>63843879
Yes it's important to have one's recherche racism or course. I was thinking of the normalfags who have been converted.

>>63843879
i did this with anime
its like mark wahlberg in the other guys where he learned how to do ballet really well to mock the gay kid in his neighborhood

>>63843267
they didn't switch, they just use different terms in different contexts. people aren't talking about a djinn coming out of a lamp to grant wishes

>>63843236
Didn't Disney sue someone over using "Genie" because that's the name of their IP, djinn is the more generic term.

iran as a country is good as gone

>>63843108 (OP)
It's nothing, you just need that much fuel to refuel the F-35 the Iranians shot down.

Lol, lmao even... Europe is fucking tiered of Israel.

>>63844044
they did at one point. that one sort of died quietly iirc, but nobody's tried it since just to be sure nothing happens, so 'djinn' became more popular.

Genie is French word

>>63843365
English isn't so immune to change that it can't adapt or accept new words or spellings. Shakespeare didn't even write his name the exact same way. The concept of standardised spelling is a relatively new one. You only hold to your current spelling ruleset because it's easier to communicate if everyone works from the same rules.
Kyiv isnt really breaking those rules, if anything it more accurately describes how the locals call it in their accents, kuhyeev, rather than what most people assume is kee-ev.
Neither is Djinn breaking any rules, it simple has a wider use, blame disney for "ruining" genie by accurately portraying fairytales for children as childish. It's a consequence of Muslims learning English though but that's fine it's not like it matters.
I've never even heard of firenze however till today, and Tuscany isn't brought up often enough for anyone to remember either really.

They only one I don't accept is Turkiye (Idk which ŷ or ě) because it doesn't follow general no accent English rules at all, so while the Turks can call themselves that in their language, it will always be Turkey since that's what it sounds like more simply without weird stresses on the letters to imply.

Being realistic though, I doubt you could even read Middle English let alone Old English, but if you truly cared about "English" that is unwilling to adapt you would revert back to those.

The tankers are still flowing towards the east, they seem to be landing at an airfield at Gibraltar. Heres 3 coming in and 3 just landed somewhere there. Didn't catch which field, but they were circling around for an approach.

in germany, when we work with keyboards or text inputs that dont allow umlauts or make them cumbersome to access, we write oe, ae, ue instead of ö, ä, ü. so you could spell it KOELN without having to look up the specific command for inputing an umlaut.

This shit being peddled out by the Israeli government, US admin and some western commentators about regime change is the stupidest fucking thing about. Yes, let's make this conflict to the schizo paranoid country existential, that's totally not going to trigger them in lizard brain mode and act irrational.

A collapsed Iran is worse than a continuity Iran because it seems somehow people have forgotten what's happened to every collapsed ME regime. It becomes a hive for extreme groups that have no sense for self-preservation.

If Iran collapsed we'd have no choice to go in because of the following:

>Iran does have chemical weapons
>Iran does have nuclear material
>Iran probably has pre nuclear weapon material (delivery platform, tooling, research, people)
>Iran has ballistic missiles

And not all of this can be successfully destroyed with kinetics. You would have to secure it.

But no, apparently that makes me a shill for the regime.

genie is the english bastardized translation. It is more awareness of a more correct spelling and pronunciation. Also you can thank 90s popular culture horror books and tv shows that used djinn because "I dream of genie" is pure waifu and a monkey paw wish is scary.

>They only one I don't accept is Turkiye (Idk which ŷ or ě)
I am willing to accept it if the "iye" is something meaningful and common in the Turkish language.

In Korea dae-han-gook-ken 대한민국 (big-han-people-country). Is the word for their country. Han = one/original/great, which is also funny because han is also the dominant ethnic group in china and different from the korean han.

also gook means people. so korean war vets saying gook is objectively correct and culturally sensitive.

Not that I think this is anything in particular beyond maybe just-in-case, but you're a retard too. They're not going to turn off ADS-B in general domestic air space you dumb shit unless they grounded every commercial airliner first, which wouldn't happen outside of serious peer war and would obviously give the game away anyway.

I live by an F-35 base and am a pilot. Even after the DCA midair it is very common to see F-35’s or private aggressor squadrons buzzing around with your eyes but showing nothing on the box. Not even a traffic advisory.

Even in my little Citabria I have ADS-B on a switch. Very simple to turn off even for me in a $65,000 plane.

You can have ADS-B Out and not ADS-B In. They only care that you show up for ATC, and even then I’ve flown through numerous Mode C veils with no xponder, no ADS-B many times. My xponder for a few years was fucked up and wouldn’t report altitude, so any time I was in a charlie or bravo I’d run the risk of airliners interrogating ATC about my altitude since they could see me on their screen but had no idea how far off the ground I was.

Here’s the point I’m making. The military does whatever it wants and ignores FAR’s and rules constantly, even ones it is ostensibly supposed to follow. Even LEO’s ignore the rule book. So when it comes to “best practices” like turning your ADS-B on they do whatever they want. They certainly won’t be leaving it on when they’re flying off to war.

>>63846420
Makes sense I guess

>>63846464
They turned it off once they were out of the US and in the Atlantic. What does that tell you

>>63846010

I live in the upper midwest. The F-35s near me never show up on flightradar24. Neither did the F-16s before them. Every once in awhile an F-15 or an A-10 or something will land here - they never have ADS-B on. Shit, one day two Canadian F-18s came by and not even those guys had ADA-B activated.

I know this because I monitor the air traffic. The Army Blackhawks almost always have ADS-B going, but not always. One day a bunch of T-38 Talons arrived for some reason, and maybe one out of 3 or 4 had ADS-B on. I've also seen a long line of USAF cargo aircraft pass through that were squawking. And once a NASA P-3 Orion flying patterns on a snow storm. But fixed-wing combat aircraft around here never do. Maybe once I've seen a Marine fighter flying near San Diego with it on while looking around at flights, but that was a year or two ago.

>>63846473
>which we know they are up to hundrends
Did you die mid sentence?

>>63846490
Also to the point that these tankers wouldn’t be on adsb if they were headed to war, it seems like we wanted Iran to know anyway. They seem to think there’s a non zero chance we got over there and help bomb, which has motivated them to negotiate. Sending this (not too big but not small) strike force could have been a final move to get that negotiation

The blurb on the right is fucking hilarious if accurate. Iran saying that they're willing to resume talks without even getting Israel to stop bombing them, just hoping that the US doesn't join in on the curbstomping, is probably one of the most pathetic political statements to be made this decade and we've got the slavic slap fight full of contenders.

>The blurb on the right is fucking hilarious if accurate. Iran saying that they're willing to resume talks without even getting Israel to stop bombing them, just hoping that the US doesn't join in on the curbstomping
I would say no and just keep bombing them. The bombing ends when Khomeini and his entire family are dead or he abdicates leadership of Iran to the Shah and goes into exile. He has a week to decide which of those two options he prefers.

>>63847727
Nah, I'd accept the offer since the US always prefers to let others do the bleeding for them, as little as the jews have done so far, but I'd also happily be flying them fresh pallets of SDBs, MOPs, and whatever else they need to continue the humiliation ritual. Play some good cop, airstrike cop.

I'm really glad I don't serve anymore. Not because I wouldn't want to go to war, but because I'm lazy as fuck and I can't imagine the amount of work I'd be doing right now.

Whats gonna happen realistically?

we are going to war

>>63849157
The US only bombs Iran.

>>63849157
war, 2003 again

>>63849157
Iran gets bombed to shit and collapses. Proxy government installed by US and Israel. Russia shits their pants cause they get no more support. China gets mad because it lost someone who can destabilize the middle east. SURELY an radical islamic terrorist group doesn't start up to try to take revenge and the west is stuck there for decades trying to deal with it.

>>63849167
China wouldn't call its citizens to immediately leave Israel if Iran will just take it

>>63849174
everyone is calling their citizens back. It means nothing. It's normal for countries that are at war. Standard protocol. China calling their people back is just insurance incase Iran does something crazy.

>>63849167
would draw Iran into attacking US bases no?
>>63849168
I heard Iran is more like Afghanistan but magnitudes worse for an occupying force

>>63849172
Proxy government sounds unlikely. Maybe some gay rebel group infighting happens for a while. Everything else sounds about right.

>>63849153
we used 165 tankers for the start of the gulf war, so far i think the (visible and have adsb on) count of tankers is like 50 max. this is much smaller.
the ratio of tanker to fighter/bomber for gulf war was ~4:1. so this many tankers could support a strike force of about 200 fighters and bombers.

i dont know if thats a relevant analysis to do but it was interesting to me

>>63849157
Iran, Russia and China whine several metric fucktons. Orange retard tries to take ownership of a successful military operation. Talking heads start vomitting forth how they were always right about everything. We collectively stumble into the next phase of conflict as shit happens.

You'd be surprised how little talking happens when you've spent a lot of time with someone. I've spent an entire watch where the only words spoke were radio checks.

Personally, I find it irritating that we don't call that big island off the coast of China "Formosa" anymore.

I also resent the attempt to change the pronunciation of various Middle Eastern states' names, with Qatar being the worst offender. Iraq will always be eye-rack to me.

Why did Trump say to evacuate Tehran? What targets are even left for the US to hit there?

I figured the USAF was going to be pushing its dick deep inside the nuclear sites but those aren't in Tehran. He's not going after Head Sandnigger in Charge, is he?

Former USAF officer here.
Calm down. It's most probably nothingburger.

Tankers are building textbook sky bridge over the atlantic. Their loiter operations will start in maximum few hours.

Its either for the repositioning of the tactical USAF groups (that means US fighter jets will be involved in protecting israel sky since iron dome partially shit itself in the last few days, or they will join israel in strikes against Iran)

OR sky bridge for massive cargo transports from the US to israel (that means nothingburger, just weapons for israel, lots of cargo planes landing)

Probably both, mixed.

Most important message for Iran is that we are doing it openly, while we can do it covertly.
Least probable is strategic aviations involve in this. B2 can fly from home.

>>63849606
China won't do shit.
