US Transfers Fighters to the Middle East

In the context of expanding regional forces, the United States has begun the process of transferring 12 F/A-18 Hornet fighter-bombers from the Marine Corps Aviation. The U.S. is undertaking this transfer to significantly enhance its troop deployment in the Middle East. This information was disseminated by Iranian opposition journalists, citing informed sources on the operational details of the deployment.

The primary feature of the transferring squadron is the presence of upgraded electronic warfare systems and advanced electronic armaments. These systems enable effective suppression of the enemy’s air defense radar, as well as providing protection for commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz from drone and missile attacks.
