A U.S. Air Force KC-135R aerial refuelling aircraft has just declared an in-flight emergency while flying over the Persian Gulf off Iran, squawking 7700. That code is the universal signal for a general in-flight emergency, indicating the crew is dealing with a serious situation.


We now know that at least two Air Force tankers suddenly broadcast an emergency signal over the Gulf this morning. Shortly after an Airforce Search and Rescue team was deployed and *ALL* 30 other tankers were grounded. It seems *very* likely that Iran shot down two US tankers.



The KC-46A that was operating on the same spot has also squawked 7700 emergency while over Saudi Arabia, returning to Tel Aviv. Wouldnt be suprised if they collided mid-flight earlier.
