It is certain that in the event of an attack on a NATO country, it will receive extensive support from its allies. The forces of, among others, USA, but there are not so many of them, so the USA, while admitting that American F-35 fighters fly around Belarus in full stealth mode, makes it clear that in the event of an escalation of the conflict, it will come to help in the blink of an eye. The question remains, what exactly were these F-35s doing?
American F-35 fighters flew some 160 km from the Belarusian-Polish border
The United States Air Force officially confirmed that their F-35 fighters flew over Eastern Europe, conducting air refueling operations a few days after the start of the Russian invasion. What was the difference between this flight and the usual one? First of all, emphasizing the stealth capabilities of the fifth generation fighters, to which the F-35 belong.

Usually, during this type of flights and routine missions, fighters have special equipment that allows them to be tracked down. We are talking about RCS sets (signal amplifiers) or radar reflectors, which were missing during the F-35 Lightning II flights carried out on February 27 and 28 in the south-eastern part of Poland. Above you can see details of the flight of one of them around Kozienice in Poland, and the KC-135 tanker on the runway.
