"National Science Foundation" printed by the wheels of the C-130 and a RED tail. Looks like US Marines around the HIMARs vehicle who deployed for training in Norway, Must be sending the HIMARS to Ukraine via a semi-clandestine aircraft.
Doesn't look like the Hot Pad scrambles I remember from cold war days. Our Alert Fives sat cockpit watch in their Phantoms, under an umbrella if it rained, or in an air-conditioned flightline shack if it was too hot. Their gear was always donned and adjusted, and their helmets sitting on the glareshields, all plugged in. Huffer carts and ground power plugged in and running within 20 seconds of the klaxon, and the birds would be taxiing out in less than two minutes. Thirty seconds at the hold short for the ordies to pull the pins, and cleared for takeoff, expedited climb. They averaged one or two "live" scrambles a day, and got pretty good at it. If you were in a flying club plane teaching a student (as I was), you made yourself scarce, real quick.
@paogene1288 , there was a Navy flying club on base, and I was a flight instructor there. We used the same runways and taxiways in our Cessnas and Pipers as the military jets did. If you were in the traffic pattern for the active runway when a scramble was called, you promptly exited the control zone in the direction Tower ordered, or you orbited in place, well clear of the traffic pattern. In any right-of-way contest between a Cessna and a Phantom, "tonnage always wins"! Sharing the airspace with fast movers was a good experience for students to have, right from the get-go. That's how I learned, as well.
At first, I thought this was clickbait, then I did a little follow up. Not sure exactly where these 35's are actually taking off from, but the tail designator letters "LN" would include these birds into the 48th Operations Group, and the 495th Fighter Squadron (aka Valkyries), which would be part of possibly 24 F-35A's based out of RAF Lakenheath, England. That would most likely place this group first to deploy to Poland as described in the video, particularly because the 48th Operations Group has a close working relationship and deployment history working with NATO. Things are getting dicey in that air space over there...
