High above the clouds, fighter jets secretly refuel in midair to extend their range, stay hidden from enemy radar, and carry out dangerous missions under cover of darkness. Using two main systems — the flying boom favored by the US Air Force and the probe-and-drogue system common to NATO and Indian jets — pilots and crews rely on glowing markers, infrared cameras, and night-vision technology to connect aircraft at incredible speeds. While stealth fighters like the F-35 and B-2 benefit most from these operations, risks of turbulence, fatigue, and errors make precision essential. With new tankers like the Airbus A330 MRTT and KC-46A enabling stealth-compatible refuelling, and future plans for drones and AI to take over, the future of aerial refuelling is both daring and transformative.
