Description

A U.S. Air Force KC-135 refueling tanker crashes in Iraq, killing four crew members. The crash occurred after an incident with another KC-135, but was not due to hostile or friendly fire. The cause is under investigation. These tankers, based on Boeing 707 designs, have a history of fatal crashes and are being gradually replaced. Despite their rarity, enemy attacks on tankers are possible if the conflict with Iran extends.
