The United States has deployed 14 C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft and two heavily armed AC-130J Ghostrider helicopters to British air bases, although the British Ministry of Defense declined to comment on this information, the Times newspaper reported.
"Since Saturday, a fleet of at least 14 C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft and two heavily armed AC-130J Ghostrider helicopters have landed at three RAF bases in Suffolk and Gloucestershire," the publication said.
According to the newspaper, there could be at least five MH-60M Black Hawk helicopters and one MH-47G Chinook helicopter used in special operations on the Globemaster.
As "The Times" notes, the bases where the planes arrive are jointly used by the Royal Air Force and the US Air Force.
