华盛顿8月12日路透电 — 一位知情人士周三透露，上月特朗普访土耳其期间，有情报显示空军一号可能成为肩扛式导弹的袭击目标，特勤局因此秘密将特朗普转移至一架小型政府专机。
该消息人士表示，威胁出现于特朗普访问安卡拉参加北约峰会的最后一天，当时美伊紧张局势升级。特勤局认定该威胁可信且迫在眉睫，随即启动特别行动以隐瞒美国总统的行踪。

该消息人士拒绝透露情报来源，但表示官员们准备时间有限，计划是在最后一刻制定的。
据该消息人士透露，7月8日离开土耳其时，特朗普与一小批助手搭乘餐车，秘密从蓝白涂装的总统专机换乘至一架不起眼的小型C-32A专机，而空军一号则搭载高级政府官员、白宫工作人员和随行记者团单独起飞。
特朗普周二对记者表示，他是在负责总统安保的特勤局指示下换乘飞机的，他从安卡拉飞往英国的经停点时并未发生意外。
“我觉得实际上我搭乘的那架飞机风险更高，”特朗普对记者说道，但并未提供证据，“我认为风险更高，因为他们更有可能袭击那架飞机。”
米切尔航天研究所执行主任道格拉斯·伯基表示，这种威胁可能是一种新型热寻导弹，其锁定飞机发动机热源，日益成为军事规划者的担忧焦点。与传统的雷达制导威胁相比，这类导弹更难被侦测，且“能凭空出现”，因为它们不会发出可被探测到的无线电波。
伯基称，伊朗产的SA-67型导弹采用简易导轨发射器，据信同时使用热寻和激光制导系统。他还表示，俄罗斯制造的9K333“Verba”肩扛式热寻武器也是此类威胁之一。
秘密出行
包括特朗普在内的美国总统偶尔会在访问战区或高风险地区时秘密出行，以保障安全。但此类行程通常会提前告知随行记者。
2003年感恩节，时任总统乔治·W·布什访问巴格达之行，部分记者提前得到了通知。不过，当时跟随布什前往得克萨斯州克劳福德过感恩节的其他记者被误导了：他们被告知布什将与家人共度感恩节，结果总统突然现身伊拉克，令他们大吃一惊。
周三的消息人士称，特勤局在土耳其没有充裕的时间准备。
“他们匆忙行动，应对他们认为可信且迫在眉睫的威胁，”该消息人士说道。
《华盛顿邮报》本周首次披露了此次行动的细节，距离行动实施已过去一个多月。
《纽约时报》报道称，美国官员震惊地发现，伊朗方面知晓特朗普在安卡拉的下榻地点，包括其入住酒店的确切楼层。
这架被当作诱饵的空军一号上搭载了美国国务卿马可·卢比奥——消息人士称卢比奥已获悉此次行动——财政部长斯科特·贝森特、白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张、其他多名助手，以及通常由13人组成的媒体团，其中包括一名路透社记者和摄影师。
该消息人士表示，白宫副幕僚长丹·斯卡维诺、行政助理娜塔莉·哈普以及椭圆形办公室主任沃尔特·纳塔与特朗普一同搭乘餐车换乘。
一些媒体评论员和国会议员质疑，此次行动是否会让原本预计搭载总统的专机上的特朗普助手和记者陷入危险。
该消息人士称，由于与接壤土耳其的伊朗敌对行动升级，为特朗普的最佳利益计，需将此次计谋保密。
土耳其官员未立即就此次威胁置评。

Credible missile threat led to secret aircraft switch for Trump, source says

- Summary
- Trump left Turkey on C-32A jet after Secret Service deemed threat credible and imminent
- Threat emerged on final day of Ankara NATO summit visit amid heightened tensions with Iran, source says
- Air Force One departed separately carrying Rubio, Bessent, White House staff and 13-person press pool
WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) – A threat that Air Force One could be targeted by a shoulder-fired missile prompted the Secret Service to secretly move President Donald Trump onto a smaller government jet during a trip to Turkey last month, a person briefed on the matter said on Wednesday.
The threat emerged on the final day of Trump’s visit to Ankara for the NATO summit amid heightened tensions with Iran, the source said. The Secret Service deemed the threat to be credible and imminent, prompting an extraordinary operation to conceal the U.S. president’s movements.

The source declined to say where the intelligence came from but said officials had little time to prepare and devised the plans at the last minute.
Trump and a small group of aides used a catering truck to surreptitiously switch them from the big blue-and-white presidential aircraft to a smaller, nondescript C-32A jet for the flight out of Turkey on July 8, while Air Force One departed separately carrying senior administration officials, White House staff and the traveling press corps, according to the source.
Trump told reporters on Tuesday that he made the switch at the direction of the Secret Service, which is charged with presidential security. He flew from Ankara to a refueling stop in Britain without incident.
“I think actually the plane that I flew on was at greater risk,” Trump told reporters, without providing evidence. “I think it was at greater risk because that would be the plane I think that they would be more likely to go for.”
The threat may have been a new type of heat-seeking missile that homes in on hot aircraft engines and has become an increasing concern for military planners, said Douglas Birkey, executive director of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. They are harder to detect than traditional radar-guided threats and “can kind of come out of nowhere” because they don’t send out detectable radio waves.
One version, the Iranian SA-67, has a simple rail launcher and is believed to use heat seeking as well as laser guidance systems, Birkey said. A shoulder-mounted heat-seeking weapon, the 9K333 Verba, is made in Russia, he said.
SECRET TRAVEL
U.S. presidents, including Trump, have occasionally traveled under secrecy when visiting war zones or high-risk regions in order to maintain security. But those trips typically involved advance notice for journalists traveling with the president.
Some members of the press got a heads up ahead of a Thanksgiving 2003 trip by President George W. Bush to Baghdad. Other members of the press corps covering Bush’s Thanksgiving holiday in Crawford, Texas, were misled, however. Told that Bush was spending the feast day with family, they were shocked when the president abruptly surfaced in Iraq.
The source on Wednesday said the Secret Service did not have the luxury of time in Turkey.
“They were scrambling to head off what they thought was a credible, imminent threat,” the source said.
The Washington Post first reported details of the operation this week, more than a month after it was carried out.
The New York Times reported that U.S. officials were alarmed to discover that Iranians knew where Trump was staying in Ankara, including the exact floor of his hotel.
On board the Air Force One jet now seen as a decoy were U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who the source said was briefed on the maneuver; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent; White House communications director Steven Cheung; and a number of other aides plus the typical 13-person press pool that included a Reuters correspondent and photographer.
White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, executive assistant Natalie Harp and director of Oval Office operations Walt Nauta made the move in the catering truck with Trump, the source said.
Some media commentators and lawmakers have questioned whether the operation left Trump’s aides and journalists traveling with him at risk aboard the plane presumed to be carrying the president.
The source said it was determined that it was in Trump’s best interests to keep the ruse secret as hostilities escalated with Iran, which borders Turkey.
Turkish officials did not immediately comment on the threat.
