The United States is increasing aircraft numbers in the Middle East as tensions soar with Iran.

The US plans to send additional F-16 and F-35 fighter jets from bases in Europe, as well as additional aerial refueling tankers, according to a US official.

Dozens of US fuelers have arrived in Israel in recent days and are still incoming, an Israeli source said. During the March operation, there were roughly 94 fuelers. That had dropped to 40, but has been rising since last week, this source said.

CNN’s Kevin Liptak has details about the surge in military aircraft. Also, CNN military analyst Cedric Leighton and former Obama aide Dennis Ross examine the potential impact of the move as tensions with Iran continue to rise.

Ex-Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov served alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin for a number of years. Amid reports that everyday Russians are becoming more frustrated and anxious as the war continues, he breaks down what he thinks of Russia’s strategy, Putin’s mindset and what the west needs to do.

Also, Russia has claimed that it had “gained full control” of the key “fortress belt” city of Kostyantynivka. But outside experts and Ukrainian soldiers who spoke to CNN say Russia’s claims of advancement are exaggerated and come as the Kremlin is likely trying to project a narrative of success to counter the impact of recent Ukrainian strikes inside Russia.
