23 U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress aircraft from the 2nd Bomb Wing, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, completed a mission with U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa in the Mediterranean Sea on May 26, 2021.
The bombers integrated with Royal Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft and Hellenic F-16 aircraft over the east Mediterranean Sea before conducting counter-maritime integration with P-8A Poseidon aircraft assigned to U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa’s Patrol Squadron 40 (VP-40). Turkish F-16 aircraft currently supporting NATO Enhance Air Policing escorted the B-52H aircraft on their return to Morón Air Base, Spain.
The U.S. Air Force is engaged, postured, and ready with credible force to assure, deter, and defend in an increasingly complex security environment. Strategic bomber missions underline the ability of U.S. forces to project power in any location across the globe.

Two ISIS terror cells found hiding in caves have been destroyed by British RAF fighter jets using laser-guided bombs in Iraq.
A pair of RAF Typhoon FGR4s conducted simultaneous attacks using two Paveway IV guided bombs to kill the terrorists based in two caves near Bayji, a city 130 miles north of Baghdad.
The attack comes just days after Iraq said an airstrike had killed an ISIS commander in Iraq who had claimed to be the leader of the terror group in the country.
A coalition surveillance aircraft had located a number of ISIS fighters on January 24 and the two fighter jets were tasked to strike them, according to a statement by the Ministry of Defence.
