The United States has sent three military planes to El Salvador, an ally of President Donald Trump's government, satellite images and flight tracking data published by the New York Times on Wednesday showed.
The vehicles were identified as an AC-130J Ghostrider attack aircraft designed to destroy land and sea targets with missiles or barrages of cannon and machine guns, a Navy P-8A reconnaissance aircraft with cameras capable of gathering information from above, and an Air Force jet that is rarely seen and had not been spotted at the airport since October, according to the NYT.Ghostrider is operated by the US Air Force Special Operations Command, which is responsible for a critical mission of the US military.
Two U.S. military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to the newspaper that the deployment of the plane to El Salvador was part of a campaign against drug trafficking in the region.

It is a post established in 2000, although a Navy surveillance plane was installed until 2022 and, since then, has been used externally.Admiral James Stewards, former head of the Southern Command, which has operations in the region that includes El Salvador, told the post used to stop posting and fight drug trafficking.
"That foundation is very, very important for soft power," he said, "but it's clearly being used for hard power today."
Public radio messages between military aircraft and air traffic controllers revealed that the P-8A had flown at least six missions over El Salvador, according to the New York Times.The other two, in turn, carried out at least one mission each.A foreign country hosted an American plane in the Caribbean and Pacific, a sign of strengthening ties between US President Donald Trump and his Salvadoran counterpart, Nayib Bukele.
At the same time, satellite images showed an increase in the US air presence at the former Roosevelt Roads Naval Air Station near Ceiba, Puerto Rico, a Caribbean island belonging to the United States. The reactivated base is also used as a forward operating area for military operations in the region. At the same time, 10,000 US soldiers were sent to the territory.

Sources close to the White House claim that the Pentagon has produced Trump with the means of installation of the Venezuelan military - such as airports - under the quality of ties and parts of the supply off.
The US accused Maduro of leading the Cartel de los Soles and offered a reward of 50 million USD for information leading to the arrest of the head of the Chavista regime.Colombian President Gustavo Petro was also accused by Trump of being a "drug lord" and a "criminal".At the same time, attacks on ships in the area are increasing.
Incidents were raised between some legal experts and former democratic parliamentarians who dismissed these cases as violations of international law.In contrast, Trump claimed that the United States was involved in a war with terrorist groups in Venezuela, which legitimized the attack.Government officials said the traditional moves to arrest and prosecute the group's operatives were essential to ensure that the country did not flow into the country.
Reuters reported last week that senior military personnel involved in expanding operations in Latin America were asked to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) following the attacks.The classified document is highly unusual given officials' inherent obligation to protect national security secrets.
