Security Raised At RAF Mildenhall And Lakenheath Amid Terror Concerns
The US Air Force has relocated refueling tankers from RAF Mildenhall in eastern England to Germany, Spain, and Scotland following an Iran-linked threat. The move comes after security at Mildenhall and nearby RAF Lakenheath was raised to Force Protection Condition Charlie, the second-highest level in the US Department of Defense’s five-tier system. The US Air Force confirmed heightened security measures but declined to describe them or explain what prompted the heightened security. The relocation was first reported by AeroTime.
