| [Reuters] The difficult task of refueling U.S. military fighter jets as they carry out strikes on Iran mostly rests on an aging fleet of Boeing KC-135 refueling aircrafts built in the 1950s and 1960s. These aging tankers were in the spotlight after two collided mid-air over Iraq, killing all six crew, on Thursday, March 5. U.S. military said one crashed in Western Iraq, while the other tanker managed to land safely. |
