U.S. shows off chilling warfighting capabilities with aircraft launch
Story by Talker News • Yesterday 4:01 PM

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
