Media are now reporting the U.S. has removed all Air Force’s bombers, including B-1s, B-2s, and B-52s, on Sunday from RAF Fairford base in the U.K.
The bombers were redeployed back to their home bases in the United States, AP reported, initially citing a Pentagon official who was not authorized to discuss sensitive military movements and spoke on condition of anonymity. However, multiple news outlets are now reporting on official statements from the Pentagon.
SKY NEWS – […] “While operational security precluded us from confirming the movement of our assets and forces in real-time, we can acknowledge now that all US bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have redeployed to their home stations in the United States.
“The Airmen that operate America’s bomber force, including B-1s, B-2s, and B-52s, remain ready to deliver precision global strike capabilities – including through operations that launch and recover from the continental United States – anywhere, anytime.” (source)

The UK, aka MI6, is NOT the USA friend.
What????
No “Special Relationship”??
(Come to think of it, words I have not heard in a long time.)
The crack MI6 were missing in action protecting US assets at RAF Fairford.
Isn’t it Interesting the men with the white vans attempting to access the Fairford airfield were arrested and released by the UK government. A farmer not the MI6 reported the very suspicious activity.
The United States AirForce had to removed all planes from RAF Fairfield. American assets are safely in the United States.
The crack MI6 ran a failed false flag.
Likely Mi6 with their besties in the out of control CIA. Not a wonder why the “terrorists” were released, they just flashed their CIA creds
“The UK, aka MI6, is NOT the USA friend.”
Much easier to bomb our enemies when we don’t have our stuff parked in their back yard.
We seem to have no trustworthy friends in Europe.
Smart move and it says a lot about the UK.
“We seem to have no trustworthy friends in Europe.”
We have no friends, anywhere.
What we have is mutual economic interests with a few select sovereign nations.
The tremendous air defenses of the EU and Uk have no need of the provincial Yanks in defending them. Besides, they can always ring up their ‘associate EU member” Canada to take up the slack.
To quote the Clash: “YOU LOT!”
LOL!! What was it I heard a day or so ago, Canada has something like 76 aircraft in it’s “Airforce”(?)? Always have mighty Denmark and France who were raising He… ah..cain about us taking over Greenland.
On a serious note, I am pleased to see the assets coming home. Any other of our last 8 presidents would have just moved them to somewhere else in the EU. If they aren’t going to allow us to use their bases or air space when we need them why are we there spending
billions into the local economies. Bring it home and spend that money here. Kinda like a laundered tax return.
Rock the Casbah.
😂
US leaves NATO when? Any day now, hopefully. These people are no longer our allies.
Removed, from behind enemy lines.
Bummer 😎 🇺🇸
Good.
Good. Now let’s pull out of the rest of Europe.
Leave the weenies to their Russo-blood lust misadventures.
Portents of a cleaving of the special relationship.
Good. I wonder how many service members in total are leaving with those aircraft? Beside the flight crews you have maintenance and others.
Pull any other military assets out of the UK too.
That leaker has to be found and prosecuted. No excuses. Enough is enough. Surely DoW and FBI are not that helpless.
Spent some time in the Cotswolds last year and saw many aircraft from Fairford AFB training there, including US planes. It would be more than obvious if our aircraft were departing in large numbers and not returning. I would think the economic impact will be significant.
The “Southern Asians” have been purposefully seeded throughout the UK-I’ve seen them there and as far away as Cornwall, Wales and even the Outer Hebrides. I wonder if any of the Brits watching this even remember the newsreels of the last chopper out of Saigon-personally, I will never forget it-
Isn’t “the Cotswolds’, where the King’s country home, “Highgrove House” is located?
And Princess Anne’s “Gatcombe Park” also located?
Not much need for the “Ground Pounders” if all the Fly Boys pull out. Always amazed at how fast this President can make a decision! Just like the successful CEOs and corporate presidents in the civilian arena! You think he ask SECWAR or the Secretary of the AF if we should or just said, “Get your asses out of there”?
“U.S. Removes All Bombers and Support Fleet from RAF Fairford in U.K.
Following Suspected Terrorist Plot”
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Ephesians 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
¡Adios,mojos!
Hasta la vista and I’m taking the bacon—-
Regardless of how bad the UK is at security, why in the age of drones are nuclear assets parked in harms way? This is a Hegseth screw-up.
Really, a drone from Russia to Fairfield???? call me sceptical
its not the drones from russia i would be worried about.
Would you think Z hasn’t thought about framing Russia for attacking the US?
The US has used that base for decades going back to WW2. This was nothing new.
King Charles – see here you big loser
Can’t help but suggest that this move follows the UK denying US demands to place the base under US Control and allow US Physical Security assets to be deployed.
The base is a major staging point that removes allot of flight time and crew fatigue for missions they fly and this is a loss. The US assets redeployed to the US can still strike Iran, Areas Bordering the Red Sea and Africa but at a higher risk of added flight time .. adding stress to the airframes, more in-flight refueling risks and added crew fatigue.
The base is under UK RAF Control and RAF Physical Security. This withdrawal is a slap n the face to the UK Government and MoD .. yet the UK likely could care less that they have insulted.
It almost looks like the UK/EU are starting to look more like the enemy.
Looks exactly like a not so subtle message of no confidence in a erstwhile “ally” to me.
Now the UK can focus their limited security forces on thwarting student riots.
Will there be a call up of farm women? Seems to be the only ones paying attention to the growing threat in their country.
The Brits wanted st stage a false flag and blame Russia. Seen this movie before…..
I’d love to see us get all of our “assets” out of the UK. They were up to their ears in the Trump-Russia conspiracy and they are continually working to undercut Trump and the USA at every turn.
Just close everything over there and let the Brits turn the bases into mooselim welcome centers.
USA closing all doors on who used to be allies, a little at first, then all at once!
Removing one more target for the IRGC to hit as leverage.
Good! Keep them or keep them in any place but another EU country, especially France.
convenient excuse, no?
I approve! 💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥🇺🇸💥😎
Wise move!
Good, bout damn time,,,old USAF wife here
The US can see there will be a Muslim uprising in the UK in the near future similar to France with an equally ridiculous reason for the violence.
Better we not become embroiled.
By releasing the perpetrators on bail, it’s another reason to GTFO NATO and Europe in general. F you and whole family.
This makes me so happy. Home. Our boys n girls home.
Sweet home.
