🇮🇱 ✈️ ISRAEL RECEIVES SECOND KC-46 REFUELING TANKER: The Israeli Air Force has received its second Boeing KC-46A “Gideon” refueling aircraft, part of a six-plane order aimed at significantly strengthening Israel’s long-range capabilities. The tanker was inaugurated at Nevatim Airbase after arriving from the U.S. and will help replace the IAF’s aging Boeing 707 refuelers. The IDF says the KC-46 extends fighter jets’ range and time in the air while enhancing Israel’s ability to operate in distant theaters and during multi-front conflicts.
