U.S. shows off chilling warfighting capabilities with aircraft launch

The United States has made a chilling demonstration of its warfighting capabilities.

Twenty-four huge military transporter planes were launched on Jan. 5, in what marks the largest launch of C-17 aircraft ever from a single base.

The ominous sight also saw what the U.S. Air Force is calling the "largest-ever show-of-force formation flight" over Charleston Harbor, South Carolina.
 
Joint Base Charleston launched the C-17 Globemaster IIIs to conduct a mission generation exercise that integrated Air Force, Army, and Marine forces.

Part of the exercise saw the transporters performing a "rapid infiltration" of deadly HIMARS rocket launchers; the American-made long-range artillery effectively being used by Ukraine forces against Russia.

It showed off CAPABILITIES.  You still need a CIC who will use them against enemies.  He can't consider Russians, Chinese, and terrorists his allies.
