The location of the landing has not been disclosed. Notably, the MC-130 Super Hercules is designed for:
• transporting special forces,
• conducting covert operations and nighttime missions,
• refueling and supporting helicopters in the air,
• performing unconventional takeoffs and landings.
As the authors of the channel emphasize, “the placement of this aircraft within 800 km from Tehran by land and 480 km by air adds strategic significance to this landing. In the context of current events, this is perceived as another step towards increasing U.S. military presence near Iran.”
According to data from the FlightRadar24 service, the mentioned planes had previously conducted flights within the U.S. or were heading to Ramstein Air Base in Germany. No flights towards Turkmenistan have been recorded.
