BUFFS deploy to the Middle East
U.S. Central Command Public Affairs
Dec. 29, 2020 | 1:55
A U.S. Air Force B-52 “Stratofortress” from Minot Air Force Base, N.D. and a U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon are aerial refueled by a KC-135 “Stratotanker” over the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility Dec. 30, 2020 as part of an escort mission in support of the B-52 “Stratofortress” deployment. The short-notice deployment underscores the U.S. military's commitment to regional security and demonstrates a unique ability to rapidly deploy overwhelming combat power on short notice. The B-52H is a long-range, heavy bomber that is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet and provides the United States with immediate global strike capability.
