US Rejects Israeli Request For Tanker Aircraft As Iran Plans Advance ( Pix, Vid) by Gospelpreacher1: 12:32am On Dec 16, 2021
US rejects ISRAEL: The US has reportedly rejected an Israeli request to fast-track the delivery of two tanker aircraft.

The US has rejected an Israeli request to fast-track the delivery of two tanker aircraft which had been ordered by Israel, as plans for a possible military option against Iran's nuclear plan move forward, Ynet reported on Monday.

In October, sources in the Defense Ministry stated that senior Israel Air Force (IAF) officers had requested that the supply of four KC-46 tanker aircraft from the US be sped up, asking that two of the aircraft be delivered immediately.

The officers asked that the other two be supplied within the next two to three years.

According to the Ynet report, the IDF hopes to convince the US over the next year.

The US State Department approved the possible sale of up to eight KC-46 tanker aircraft and related equipment to Israel for an estimated cost of $2.4 billion last March, marking the first time that Washington has allowed Jerusalem to buy new tankers.

Israel was set to receive two of the Boeing-made planes by late 2023, and during former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s last visit to Washington, he raised the issue that two of the eight tankers be supplied in the next year.

The KC-46 tankers will replace Israel’s Ram (Boeing 707) tanker aircraft that are required for long-range missions and nearing the age of 60.

Israel’s fleet of Ram planes, the number of which remains confidential, are former civilian aircraft adapted for military uses such as aerial refueling for fighter jets, as well as its fleet of transport aircraft. They were grounded last year.

The new KC-46 tankers can refuel jets with 1,200 gallons of fuel per minute by its fly-by-wire 55-ft. refueling boom. It also can have wing air refueling pods allowing three jets to be refueled at once within three to four minutes.

With a range of 11,830 km., with the capacity to unload some 207,000 lbs. of fuel, the KC-46 can refuel over 64 different types of aircraft.

Such refueling aircraft would be critical for a strike on Iran, as a mission against Iran would need to travel over a thousand kilometers in each direction.


During a recent visit to the US, Defense Minister Benny Gantz updated American officials that he had set a deadline for when the IDF will need to complete preparations for an attack against Iran.

There was no US veto to Israel's plans, according to a senior diplomatic source.

I Said Here long time ago that Biden is appointed to bring about the fall of Nomerica the Sleeping Giant aka " Mystery Babylon "

America became a Super Power because of the Strong Judaic Principles laid down by the Founding Fathers .
Israel has been the USA Most trusted ally and that is why GOD ALMIGHTY made America a Super Power because the Covenant says " I WILL BLESS THEM THAT BLESS THEE and CURSE them that Curse thee"

America of today has completely turned its back on GOD and is furiously advancing and Promoting everything that evokes GOD'S Wrath.

America of today is More anti- Israel than Pro- Israel.
America of today is Pro-Israel on the Pages of Newspapers and Anti-Israel in action.

Israel is at the Verge of War with its Enemies and America is playing Politics and tactically empowering Israel's Enemies.

One thing is Sure! Israel cannot go down! When the Chips are down, GOD ALMIGHTY will Personally , Mightily and Furiously Defend HIS LAND just as the Bible says. HE will Crush all the Nations that comes against HIS First Born.

But you see Babylon the Great, the Sleeping Giant aka Nomerica, like ancient Judah, she is Gone! It is already a sealed deal! It has begun already! She will become an Excreta among the Nations.
If Babylon the Great Aka Nomerica is not Destroyed, I will Drop my Bible.

As for the People of GOD there, Fear not. GOD will Deliver His People before the Full Collaspe.

What is good about Israel obtaining a refuelling tanker that it wants to use to cause a wildfire in the middle east? World powers are racing to rescue the nuclear deal Dullard Trump ditched now Israel is threatening a strike and trying to obtain refuelling tankers to carry it out. One thing I have noticed is Israel does not want any solution to the nuclear crisis that same Israel used Trump to create and once Israel starts that wildfire it will affect Israel seriously. Israel must be joking to think it can strike Iran without consequences.

So Biden's govt is the worst in U.S. history? Because he delayed the transfer of refuelling tankers that Israel is planning to use to cause a conflagration in the middle east? Dullard Trump last week confessed that Netanyahu just used him over the Iran issue. It is now clear to Mr Trump what he couldn't see during his tenure.

You don't have sense.. Is America's destiny tied to that of Israel? Is America not a sovereign nation? Must America always do the bidding of Israel without thinking of the consequences it will have on America's interest and the middle east? This is common sense here. Who on earth would sell a refuelling tanker to an insane country trying to scuttle an ongoing nuclear negotiation through a pre-emptive strike. Must you bring religion into everything? Just think like someone who is educated for once. I just pity your children SMH.

You are the one that should re-read so you can understand. If you don't understand why Israel needs refuelling tankers at this moment then you have to go back and read very well. undecided
America has done well by denying that insane country from getting those tankers. When Israel starts the fire it will be uncontrollable it is the same America Israel would want to use to quench it.

There many Christian fanatics like him who pray night and day for a war they call amegadon which they believe Israel will initiate that will usher the second coming. This is why any extremist and fundamentalist groups in the US support Israel.

According to some mórons on this forum. Ukraine wants to join NATO, and then thereafter allow US to go in an place missile at russian borders. Russia should fold their hands and do nothing because Ukraine is a sovereign state.

Meanwhile, is Iran not also a sovereign state? If yes, then why are Israel and US trying to pressure them to not create Nuclear weapons?

First off. What nuclear deal are you talking about? If you mean the nuclear negotiation going on BTW the US & Iran then the nuclear negotiation has broken down. Do you live in the village that you didn't know this?
Iran are asking that ALL sanctions be withdrawn. The US aren't ready to do that.

And yes, Israel requesting for refueling tanker from the US is something that shouldn't be a surprise. They're allies. Do you know what "allies" mean? I doubt it, judging from the trash you wrote.

Israel and USA are allies. Israel and Iran are archemeny. Iran are building a weapon that can be used to wipe Israel outta the surface of the earth.

Israel alone cannot take down Iran. So you tell me. As Israel are currently in need of external help, who do you think they should be asking help from. Is it not their ally, which is clearly USA? or you're actually expecting them to call Nigeria instead? Smh Dumbo

*sighs. I don't even knw why people keep purchasing military equipments from this USA. Their hardwares are extremely expensive and hard to maintain too. Also, they can cancel the delivery of any equipment you've PAID FOR, the moment you do them any wrong. Ask turkey.

US told turkey that they would no longer deliver F-35 fighter jets to them just because they purchased S-400 from Russia.

I'm happy they've now started buying from russia
