Report: US Authorities planned to Use Fighter Jets against Protesters in Californian

US media outlets revealed that the US authorities planned to use fighter jets to deal with probable protests and social disturbances to break out in California last year.

"Los Angeles Times" a wide-circulated US daily newspaper has quoted four well-informed commanders in the US National Guard in California, who said the headquarter of the guards in Sacramento received in March 2020 an unordinary order to prepare a fighter jet of Model F-15 C to carry out probable internal tasks.

The sources did not unveil details of that task.

But they assured that regarding the advantages of that fighter it could be used to frighten and disperse the protesters who took to the streets to challenges restrictive measurements due to the spread of the Coronavirus (known also as COVID-19) in California.

The jet was about to implement low-altitude sorties overheads of the protesters to scar them because the deafening whiz emanated of the jet, as well as fire columns, eject of its engines.

The sources indicated that such jets were used in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

But mulling over the use of such a fighter is unsuitable against the US civilians.

The newspaper pointed out that this coincides with issuing instructions to the National Guard to mobilize infantry units to dispatch them to California to help authorities to restore peace and order there.

It is worth noting that California imposed a comprehensive lockdown to confront COVID-19 in 2020.

Authorizes feared that these restrictions may push the population to swarm to local stores to ransack groceries.

The "Los Angeles Times" went on to say that another fighter jet was fueled to take off last summer on the backdrop of protests mounted after a cop murdered dark-skinned George Floyd in Minneapolis.

In another context, fighter jets were prepared for deterring probable violence following the US presidential elections last November.

US Air Force and US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) denied any role in using fighters in such tasks inside the country.
