Each one of those planes costs $15,000 per hour to operate!
So that's $60,000 per hour for four of them.
Landing at a civilian airport, requiring you bring your own security!
This doesn't look like a training exercise and it's very expensive!

Article also says it's not a NATO op since they are all covid cancelled.
A small but potent force that can land anywhere they want!
The only forces that have them at present are USMC (longest), US Navy and Japan!
With seven seats each that's 28 people. 8 flight crew and 20 other spaces for marines!
That would indicate a special ops mission imho.
So what's close bye that would be a high value target enough to get these guys visible? Where did they hit?
Article says it was a joint ops with a unit from Toulon to get dominions servers, but that's the q part
