Israel Receives First KC-46 Refueling Aircraft from US, Boosting Options for Independent Strikes on Iran

(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - After years of waiting, the US delivered to Israel the first of at least six, and possibly eight, KC-46 midair refueling aircraft for future potential attacks on Iran and other distant targets, the IDF said on Wednesday. The KC-46 can carry up to 15% more fuel and double the refueling capacity per flight of its predecessor, the 'Raam' refueling aircraft.
