Why do you believe it needs to be refueled over the US? International waters ends 200 miles off the coast and China is less than 8000 miles away. There are jets

Why do you believe it needs to be refueled over the US? International waters ends 200 miles off the coast and China is less than 8000 miles away. There are jets with that range. Do you believe you’d know if Chinese refuelers were sitting off the coast?
- wolverine876 4y agoThere are military jets with a 16,000 mile range without refueling (assuming your 8,000 mile estimate is correct, and they need to fly back)? Which ones? US stealth fighters have a ~500 mile range IIRC. I don't know about the B-2 bomber, but it isn't 16,000 miles!
- tekknik 4y agoAre you sure about that? Unclassified range of many is 8000 miles. Do you think they’ll tell us the actual range? There’s also in flight refueling. Which means that 8k range puts them right at the coast and just needing a refuel to go home.
