IAF carries out first air-to-air refuelling in Embraer jet
The Indian Air Force (IAF) on Thursday successfully conducted its first air-to-air refuelling mission using an Embraer aircraft. This will allow the Embraer jet, specialised to conduct Airborne Early Warning and Control functions, to fly for a duration beyond its stated endurance. A ten-minute in-flight refuelling can generate additional four hours of flying endurance.
