IDF: Israeli Air Force Practiced Aerial Refueling of Fighter Jets

Yesterday (Thursday), the Israeli Air Force practiced aerial refueling of fighter jets in Israeli airspace. The exercise simulated long-range flight deep behind enemy lines, performing aerial refueling in short periods of time. Aerial refueling is an operational capability required by the combat force, enabling it to remain airborne for long periods of time.

The aircraft participating in the exercise, were: "Adir" (F-35i), "Baz" (F-15) and aerial refueling "Ram" aircraft (Boeing 707).

The exercise was conducted as part of the IAF’s readiness.
