February 28, 2026 • Google News World
Satellite images show increased aircraft presence at Saudi airbase used by US forces.
According to satellite images, the number of aircraft at the King Abdulaziz Air Base in Saudi Arabia has increased. The base is used by US forces and is located near the border with Iraq.
The US Air Force has stated that it needs more airpower, but the type of aircraft being purchased does not match the needs of its operations in the Middle East.
China’s space company, China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), has been tracking US military movements near Iran. CASIC has been monitoring satellite imagery to gather information on US military activities in the region.
The US military buildup in the region continues as nuclear talks between Iran and world powers continue. The exact nature of the increased aircraft presence at the Saudi airbase is not clear, but it is believed to be related to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
US officials have declined to comment on the satellite images or the increased aircraft presence at the base.
