Tanks On July 4'th!


US Military

Yes, there will be tanks at Trump's Fourth of July event — but there's a catch
Washington (CNN)A small number of M1 Abrams tanks and other armored vehicles will participate in President Donald Trump's July Fourth celebrations in Washington on Thursday, US defense officials have confirmed to CNN.

However, they will not parade down Pennsylvania Avenue due to the need to protect roads and bridges.

Trump later confirmed tanks would be present during remarks in the Oval Office.

"I'm going to be here and I'm going to say a few words and we're going to have planes going overhead, the best fighter jets in the world and other planes too and we're gonna have some tanks stationed outside," 
Trump said while also acknowledging that measures would need to be taken to protect infrastructure.

Multiple US military aircraft will participate in the celebrations as well, according to two defense officials, including the B-2 stealth bomber
and F-22 fighter jets.
CNN had also previously reported that the Blue Angels demonstration team,


which typically flies F/A-18s, would be present along with F-35 stealth jets and that the VC-25,


the aircraft that serves as Air Force One when the President is on board, also will participate.

Na,


kad jau šitaip...
