A Chinese company has tried to use AI analysis to track US aerial refuelling missions to detect the strike patterns of bombers over Iran.
MizarVision, a private geospatial intelligence firm, published a report earlier this month analysing the activities of US KC-135 and KC-46 tanker aircraft during Operation Epic Fury.
The report detailed critical links between known tanker movements and strikes against Iranian targets.

Analysts said the tankers could be tracked through Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast signals, which are used to locate aircraft. Tankers are the most commonly tracked type of military aircraft.
However, bombers are highly unlikely to broadcast ADS-B signals during operational flights so the firm then tried to match the location of the tankers with known or suspected bomber movements – something that is difficult to track. It was not clear what role artificial intelligence played in the process.

The firm had previously conducted a month-long monitoring effort, which also used satellite imagery documenting the deployment of various US military assets across the Middle East.
