As many as 100 F16 and F15 warplanes were involved in flying long-range missions supported by air refuelling tankers. Just out of curiosity, does the IAF have any air refueling tankers of its own, or were they using ours? The article is murky on that aspect of the story.

The IAF has been rehearsing long distance maneuvers involving aerial refueling for several years.

They have 6 or 7 KC-135's, and they can use ours as well.
