Yes it did. Aerial refueling is considered an offensive capability which is probably why the US never gave it to them, although I believe we sold tankers to Turkey since they are part of NATO. The question is, where will the refueling take place. It will almost certainly have to occur over someone elses territory and tankers are extremely vulnerable.
