#British #mainland #airbases directly used by #IDF cargo and #MidAirRefueling aircraft throughout the #genocide, including since the #Starmer administration took office.
The #UK government and establishment are in on this genocide to the hilt. Literally a principal sponsor of the destruction of the #Palestinian people.
As the #WarOnTerror was enabled by #Reagan era neo-cons (#Cheney, #Rumsfeld, #Perle, #Wolfowitz) and the Project for a New American Century, so Starmer's #Labour participation in this genocide was devised, insured, foreshadowed and the precursors put in place by #Blair, #Mandelson and #Blunkett right down to the #terrorism legislation now used to silence and persecute dissent.

The #intelligence breach was bad enough, current & former #FighterPilots said. But #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth’s refusal to acknowledge that he should not have disclosed sensitive info about when American fighter pilots would attack sites in #Yemen, they said, was even worse.
On #AirBases, in #AircraftCarrier “ready rooms” & in communities near #military bases this week, there was consternation.

Working list: Tallest military air base control towers
The following list identifies the tallest known controls towers used solely for military purposes. It does not include control towers for airports that share military and civilian operations. Military air bases can include air force bases, army airfields, joint force bases, naval air stations, marina corps air stations, and most recently, space force bases.
Edwards Air Force Base Control Tower – Source: edwards.af.milAs becomes quickly apparent, the height of strictly military base control towers tends to be lower than their civilian counterparts. This is often due to the lack of large terminal buildings and parking garages for which the extra height is needed to see over. It also may be occasionally due to the size of aircraft utilizing the base.
McConnell Air Force Base Control Tower – Source: enr.comThere are many more control towers that could be added, both inside and outside the United States. However, information is not readily available across the internet. As additional information becomes known, it will be added to the list. Peace!

60 #British troops deployed to investigate #drones over US #airbases. Small drones have been spotted over 3 airbases operated by the US air force in Suffolk and Norfolk. The “Ninja” — “negation of improvised non-state joint aerial-threats” is a counter-drone system able to identify targets up to 7km away. When hostile drone gets closer, the system overrides the command system and sends new instructions according to defence firm Leonardo. https://www.thetimes.com/article/71c10fa5-9380-42ef-acb5-007347c77982?shareToken=d1116d319b4914385b324ba15c01618b #defense #russia #china #spying
