🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺⚡- BREAKING: Two US KC-46A tankers have arrived at Hawaii just moments ago. A British tanker has also landed at Darwin Air Base, northern Australia.

Tanker deployment in this arena usually indicates that the US is preparing to move something heavy to the Indo-Pacific / Middle East areas of operations.
