They’d know that Lakenheath was the base for the 47th Tactical Fighter Wing prior to the war.

The Soviets picked up the redeployment from the UK to the States. Some of the "Peace" types who occasionally picketed the base were found out to be assets for the Soviets, along with other sources like satellite recon and scanning the media.
The difference between diplomacy and war is this: Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell so elegantly that they pack for the trip.
War is bringing hell down on that someone.

I think that’s a B-52D.

Not complaining about it! I’m pretty sure B-52Ds did EASTERN EXPRESS runs in addition to the WWIII edition of ARC LIGHT…
