U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft is hot-pit refueled during a mission to refuel a B-52 Stratofortress, from Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, at Prince Sultan Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jan. 27, 2021. The bomber deployment underscores the U.S. military's commitment to regional security and demonstrates a unique ability to rapidly deploy on short notice. The B-52 is a long-range, heavy bomber that is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet and provides the United States with a global-strike capability.
