U.S. Clears Potential $4.5 Billion KC-46 Tanker Sale to Qatar The U.S. State Department has approved a possible sale to Qatar of up to four Boeing KC-46A Pegasus aerial-refueling aircraft and related equipment, with the full package estimated at as much as $4.5 billion. If completed, the deal would give Qatar its first dedicated aerial-refueling fleet, significantly extending the range and endurance of its fighter aircraft. The KC-46 is the same tanker platform entering Israeli Air Force service as the “Gideon.” The proposed sale has been formally notified to Congress but is not yet a completed contract.
