So how long do you think it would take those tankers to get released from their nuke support mission and then fly from wherever the h€|| your base is to the Indian Ocean? Because at max speed a fighter will be lucky to have a range much over 400 nm so they can’t depart until you are about 20 minutes from having them on station. And then they can’t travel any faster than the tanker that’s fueling them.
And no, I was never a fighter PILOT but I sure worked in the back seat of a lot of fighters and I definitely understand navigation better than you do. You ever fly the pond? EITHER pond? Sitting on an ejection seat and wearing a poopie suit? Or do you even know what those are?
