4 U.S. Air Force KC-135T and 2 KC-135R Aerial Refueling Tankers have Departed from Al-Udeid Air Force Base in Doha, Qatar heading West over Saudi Arabia with some appearing to now be Circling over the Country; that is a lot of Fuel in the Air.
2 KC-135Rs
The KC-135T/Rs appear to be with the 171st Air Refueling Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard and the 203rd Air Refueling Squadron of the Hawaii Air National Guard; they are able to conduct In-Air Refueling of almost every single Aircraft in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy including F-35s, F-18s, F-16s, F-15s, and even B-52 Strategic and B-2 Stealth Bombers.
KC-135s can usually Top-Off roughly 4 Fighter Aircraft each so this means that upwards of 24 Fighters may currently be Airborne over Saudi Arabia.
