Qatar Expands Combat Fleet With Boeing Aerial Refueling Aircraft
The US State Department has approved a $4.5 billion sale of four Boeing KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueling aircraft to Qatar, which would give the Qatar Emiri Air Force its own aerial refueling capability. The proposed sale includes related equipment and support, and is intended to strengthen the security of a major non-NATO ally. The sale must still clear the congressional review process before a final agreement can be negotiated. The deal was reported by AeroTime.
