Tragic Accident: U.S. Air Force KC-135 Tanker Crashes in Iraq, Killing Four Crew Members
A U.S. Air Force KC-135 refueling tanker crashed in western Iraq, killing four of its six crew members. The crash occurred while supporting operations against Iran, but was not caused by hostile or friendly fire. The incident follows last weeks friendly fire downing of three U.S. F-15E jets by Kuwaiti forces. The KC-135, based on a design over sixty years old, is used for midair refueling and extending mission ranges. Investigators are probing the cause of the crash amid the tankers history of accidents. As tensions with Iran persist, these tankers could see heavier use for longer strikes deep into enemy territory.
