Sadly this country defeated by taliban in afganistan.

Meanwhile in the homeland they can't get gas below $3.50 thanks Joe.
I don't think they allow smoking, open bbq grilling, lighting up fireworks or bon fires in the inside of that plane- KC-135.
I actually followed a Humvee out the back of a C-17 if I remember right..I know there was a huge logistical mess up by the US so 19 US lads and 15 of us Brits ended up with one Humvee hitching a ride with us when we were dropped to secure a high point at the entrance to a Valley ..have a great picture somewhere in my files
Kramerica thought of this method over thirty years ago.
Same way they used C-123 with the bladders for spraying AGENT ORANGE
I was a pol guy in vietnam in 1970 and yes we filled and delivered fuel all over the country in everything from c7a caribou c123 c130 ch47s in rubber bladders of all sizes
i like how the video started as an "innovative system" and it was literally some heavy duty water balloons and big garden hoses ratchet strapped into a plane lolol otherwise interesting video tho
Thanks for showing my old job. i was a KC-135 boom operator for 6 years and a KC-10 boom operator for 14 years. . Yes the boom method is one at a time, but with the faster fuel transfer rate, i could get i could get way more total fuel transferred to more aircraft faster than the drogue method, and that's not a shortcoming.
Just think of when the Air-Force "goes green" to fight climate change and uses battery powered aircraft!
Ahem…BUULLLLKKKK FUUUEEEEELLLLL 😌
They should just create a really long hose and connect it to planes so they never have to land
It's always good to remind the Russians how important logistics are while giving them a quick fix to the supply lines.
Logistics win every time aka Force Multiplier. Russia is finding this out today, the hardway.

Nahhhh. That is not an airplane I want to pilot….
Where’s the fuel tank in the plane? It’s not in the wings, I know because I’ve seen how they are made…
