Once again, yesterday (27th March 2026) RAF Fairford (EGVA) saw the launch of 2x B-1B "Lancer" bombers for a mission to Iran. I was unable to confirm exactly what tankers refuelled them on the way home, (why will become quite apparent in another post later today)! This mission featured:

Mission XXXIX
B-1B "DIVA43" 86-0108 #AE6BF0 "Aliens with Attitude"
B-1B" DIVA44" 86-0120 #AE6BFA "Whiskey Pete"

مأموریت بمب‌افکن ۳۹ - دوتا دیوا! #FreeIran‌
--- عملیات خشم حماسی ---

بار دیگر، دیروز (۲۷ مارس ۲۰۲۶) پایگاه فیرفورد نیروی هوایی سلطنتی بریتانیا (RAF Fairford - EGVA) شاهد برخاستن ۲ فروند بمب‌افکن B-1B "لانسر" برای مأموریتی به مقصد ایران بود. من نتوانستم دقیقاً تأیید کنم که چه سوخت‌رسان‌هایی در راه بازگشت به آن‌ها سوخت‌رسانی کردند، (دلیل آن در پست دیگری در اواخر امروز کاملاً مشخص خواهد شد)! مشخصات این مأموریت:

مأموریت XXXIX
B-1B "DIVA43" 86-0108 #AE6BF0 "Aliens with Attitude"
B-1B" DIVA44" 86-0120 #AE6BFA "Whiskey Pete"
