【U.S. "Headhunter" Unit Rushes to the UK, Targeting a Russian Oil Tanker】
Having just captured Maduro, U.S. special forces are about to strike again. According to the "The Drive" website, a large number of U.S. special operations aircraft have suddenly flown into British airbases, indicating that the U.S. may be preparing for a dangerous boarding raid on a "shadow tanker" flying the Russian flag.
According to open-source tracking data, at least 10 U.S. "Globemaster" transport planes (C-17) flew from Fort Campbell in Kentucky to Europe. This base is the headquarters of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment "Night Stalkers," and military fans have seen U.S. special operations aircraft crossing the Atlantic at the British base.
The "The Drive" website analyzed that this unusual deployment is likely to support intercepting the oil tanker "Bella One" sailing in the North Atlantic. The ship has been accused of violating sanctions by transporting Venezuelan oil, and last month it refused a U.S. Coast Guard boarding inspection in the Caribbean Sea and then escaped by changing its flag to Russia's.
Why does intercepting an oil tanker require such a massive force? Intelligence indicates that Venezuelan officials had discussed deploying armed soldiers disguised as civilians on the ship, even carrying portable anti-aircraft missiles. Faced with such a "armed oil tanker" capable of counterattack, regular coast guard units would be unable to handle it.
However, this is the strength of the U.S. 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. They are equipped with "Chinook" and "Black Hawk" helicopters, skilled in rapid rope descent raids in harsh environments, and accompanying gunships can provide precise air firepower suppression, paralyzing the defense systems on board. It is reported that the U.S. "Neptune" patrol aircraft is closely monitoring the movements of this ship.
