DefenceGeek Is the US preparing to withdraw from al-Udeid air base again? Iran Over the past 48 hours, a small number of tanker flights from Qatar's Al Udeid Air Base (OTBH) have flown non-aerial refueling sorties to Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport (LLBG) according to their normal callsigns. Although I have no information on what cargo they are carrying (personnel or equipment), they unload whatever it is and then fly back to Al-Odeed. This is a potential indication that the US will pull the 25+ tanks currently at the base back from there in the event of a resumption of hostilities with Iran (as they did at the start of Operation Epic Rage). However, I do emphasize that so far the movements are few in number and maybe this is not the purpose of these flights, we will have to see!!
