In view of the actual situation facing Israel and the danger of a large-scale armed conflict breaking out in the Middle East at any time, the US military decided to send another fully manned aircraft carrier battle group to the Middle East. Washington, Aug. 3 (Russia Satellite News Agency) -- Against the backdrop of heightened tensions in the Middle East, United States Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin · decided to adjust the United States's force configuration and, based on the results of the adjustment, is sending a new carrier strike group to the region, the United States Defense Department issued a statement. Austin also ordered the deployment of a United States Air Force fighter squadron (about 24 fighters) in the Middle East, the report said. In addition, the Pentagon of United States plans to deploy more land-based anti-missile defense systems in the region.
The aircraft carrier battle group dispatched by the US military this time consists of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier (USS Lincoln), two Aegis missile cruisers, four Aegis missile destroyers, a large supply ship, and an attack nuclear submarine. It is equipped with more than 70 carrier-based fighters of various types, including F-18 "Hornet" carrier-based aircraft, anti-submarine patrol aircraft, unmanned carrier-based aircraft, carrier-based early warning aircraft, and carrier-based tankers, as well as more than 6,000 naval combat officers and men. It has been learned that in accordance with the Pentagon's urgent order to go out for reinforcements, the above-mentioned US combat ships and naval officers and men have pulled anchor and set sail from the San Diego Naval Base on the west coast of United States, and are expected to soon arrive in the waters east of Eastern Mediterranean, near the Israel.
In addition to sending a new aircraft carrier battle group to the Middle East, the US military also quickly deployed 24 additional aircraft to the Middle East, including F-15 heavy fighters and F-16 multirole fighters. According to the official information provided by the US Central Command, the 24 additional fighters deployed will be on standby in the near future at the US military base in Qatar and the US military base in Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan Air Base. Lieutenant General and Deputy Commander of the US Central Command, who is in charge of operations, said that the main purpose of the United States Air Force's supplementary deployment of fighter planes this time is to enable the US military to always maintain sufficient air combat strength and air strike superiority to deter and threaten Iran this Middle Eastern military power that can launch a lethal strike against Israel at any time.
Although the US military has repeatedly stated that the US military is only responsible for and assists Israel in carrying out various defensive combat operations and necessary assistance operations in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and will not directly send troops to participate in the war. However, judging from the additional combat forces deployed by the US military this time, the US military is undoubtedly ready to participate in the war at any time, after all, Israel, a strategic ally, has reached the critical time of multi-front combat and life and death! It can be seen from this that not only will the sixth Middle East war break out at any time, but the third war will also very likely become a reality. Who is to blame for such an unbearable situation in the Middle East?
