KC-46

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir spoke at the ceremony welcoming the strategic refueling aircraft "Gideon" to Nevatim Airbase, the first of six purchased in the U.S., and addressed the Iranian front: "The evil structure of the ayatollah regime has been significantly cracked."

The deal is valued at more than 100 million shekels and will let 'Adir' jets stay aloft longer without aerial refueling.

Boeing’s KC-46, the first of six tankers headed to the Israeli Air Force, has completed its U.S. test flight ahead of delivery in about a month — a key step in the IDF’s long-range build-up.
