After 20 Years, IAF’s Mid-Air Refueller Gap May End With ₹8,000 Crore Israel Deal

Описание: For nearly two decades, the Indian Air Force has struggled with a critical capability gap — mid-air refuelling. Now, during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Israel, India is expected to sign a ₹8,000 crore agreement to convert six Boeing 767 aircraft into tanker platforms in partnership with Israel Aerospace Industries and HAL. Why do tankers matter? Because they extend the range, endurance and combat radius of every fighter jet in the fleet. Without tankers, aircraft remain tethered to base. With them, an air force becomes a genuine power-projection force.
