Under rated comment— is planned excercise in Finland it seems although they don’t mention tankers so who knows

Yeah we're gonna use like 1 tanker for that, 2 on a busy day. The 28 others are going somewhere else

This is not part of that, these tankers are escorting fighters to the middle east

That article is talking about tankers deployed from their European bases.

[brachiosaurus@mander.xyz]

read the article

"Over the past hours, at least 20 tankers took off from various bases across Europe—including Prestwick (UK), Morón (Spain), and Ramstein (Germany)—to support what can now be confirmed as a large-scale redeployment of U.S. fighter jets to the Middle East."

~~Yes, and the OP article is talking about tankers going across the Atlantic. So these are two separate things. (Maybe related things, but neither article connects the two)

I personally found no source relating then, but I may not know what to search for.~~

Edit: I see now that the OP did list those as airbase where tankers landed after crossing the Atlantic.
