What does aerial refueling mean?

Aerial refueling is a technology to replenish fuel to other aircraft or helicopters through tankers, which can significantly improve the endurance of fighters and play an extremely important auxiliary role in strategic or tactical aviation units.

Aerial refueling and aerial tanker have become important measures to enhance the mobility and strike capability of aviation, and have been highly valued by all countries in the world.

For ordinary military aircraft, it seems unimaginable to fly tens of thousands of kilometers without landing and refueling, but now it has become a reality with the emergence and practical application of aerial refueling technology.

Simply speaking, aerial refueling technology is a technology in which an aircraft refuels another aircraft or several helicopters in the air to increase its range and endurance.
