Amidst the ongoing war in the Middle East, the US Air Force’s KC-135 Strato tanker has suddenly come into the limelight. This aircraft, which is called Flying Gas Station because of its ability to fill fuel in the air, disappeared from the radar after sending an emergency signal during the flight. After this many questions have arisen.

According to flight-tracking data, the Boeing KC-135 telecasted squawk code 7700 near Qatar, an international emergency signal. It is used when the aircraft is facing a serious situation. Shortly after this the plane disappeared from radar. It is believed that at that time it was moving towards a military base.

Last location and possible reasons

According to the report, the plane lost its altitude and lost signal over the Strait of Hormuz after turning towards Qatar. It is also being said that the aircraft was on an air-to-air refueling mission over the Gulf at that time. 7700 code can be triggered due to many reasons, such as technical fault, fire, medical emergency or any external threat.

completely disappeared after an hour

According to Gulf News, about an hour after the emergency code appeared, the plane’s transponder signal stopped completely. However, mere loss of signal does not confirm an accident, but its occurrence after an emergency alert raises concerns. So far there has been no official confirmation of any wreck, distress call, rescue operation or marine alert. It is also unclear how many crew members were on board, although the KC-135 is typically operated with a limited crew.

Why is this matter important?

The Strait of Hormuz is a major route for global oil supply. Any military or technological incident in this area can have an impact not only at the regional but also at the international level. In such a situation, the sudden disappearance of KC-135 is considered important from both security and strategic point of view.

After BJP’s historic victory in Bengal elections, neighboring country Bangladesh has expressed great expectations about India. Bangladesh Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman has said that in view of the current situation, the long pending Teesta water agreement can be reconsidered. This is also because Mamata Banerjee has been seen as an obstacle in the efforts to resolve the Teesta water dispute between India and Bangladesh.

What did the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh say?
Before leaving on a trip to China, when journalists in Dhaka asked Khalilur Rahman whether there was still hope for an agreement on the long-pending water sharing of Teesta river, he immediately replied that the new government has not yet been formed in West Bengal and it is his job to tell what he thinks and what he will do. It is not my job to read his mind.

After this, the Foreign Minister of Bangladesh, while referring to the agreement reached in 2011, expressed the hope of reconsidering the agreement. Khalilur Rahman said that Bangladesh will not wait for India’s decision, because it is a question of life and death for the people living on the banks of the river.

Mamta Banerjee had protested
In the year 2011, Teesta Agreement was agreed upon between Bangladesh and India. It was expected that it would be signed during the visit of the then Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh to Dhaka, but due to the opposition of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, this agreement was put on hold. After this Bangladesh started Teesta River Comprehensive Management and Restoration Project. Sheikh Hasina had sought assistance from China for the project during her visit to Beijing in 2019.
