Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
New photographs show the temporary repairs made to a U.S. KC‑135 tanker that was damaged during the Iran–Iraq War.
The images, released by aviation experts, detail the patchwork fixes applied to the aircraft’s fuselage and wing structure after it sustained damage in combat operations.
The KC‑135, operated by the United States Air Force, was reportedly hit during the conflict in the 1980s, and the latest photos provide the clearest view yet of the emergency repairs carried out to keep the aircraft operational.
