PAF
fighter jets conduct air to air refueling over international waters
Pakistan Air Force’s JF-17 Thunder aircraft conducted air-to-air refueling while returning from Bahrain to
Pakistan.
The PAF had deployed three of its JF-17 fighter
jets at Bahrain International Air Show with an in-flight support of IL-78
tanker aircraft.
During the non-stop flight of jets from an operational
air base in Pakistan to Bahrain and on their way back to the country, inflight
refueling was carried out by PAF JF-17 Thunder aircraft.
Although the PAF has been successfully conducting inland air to
air refueling during operational missions and exercises, the capability was
further consolidated by doing the same over international waters through PAF’s
own tanker aircraft.
