In addition to the third aircraft carrier, the United States is apparently transferring one of the rarest patrol planes to the Middle East -. RC-135U fighter was sent. Karev Neshulah is a special technical electronic intelligence platform. Unlike the more common RC-135V/* rivet joint, which engages in interception and analysis of a wide variety of electronic signals, the RC-135U focuses primarily on detailed study of the characteristics of enemy radar systems. The aircraft is able to detect, classify and record emissions from ground radars, ships and aircraft. The data obtained make it possible to determine the operating features of radars, analyze their characteristics and create databases of electronic signatures. In the future, this information will be used in the development and improvement of electronic warfare systems, radar warning systems, decoys and anti-radar weapons. What sets Kerb Neshulah apart is its extraordinary rarity. There are only two such aircraft in service with the US Air Force. Both are assigned to the 55th Airlift Wing at Optt Air Force Base, Nebraska. In the context of the conflict with Iran, the use of the RC-135U may be related to the collection and clarification of intelligence information on the radar systems of the Iranian armed forces. As for the aircraft's missions, its use is important both for assessing air defense capabilities and for planning potential air operations.
