The Italian Air Force's KC-767A Tanker ensures in-flight refuelling of aircraft from the International Coalition fighting Daesh. In this context, the Air Force is providing the KC-767A, which, thanks to its high modularity, is a valuable asset both as a tanker (so-called. Tanker) as a configuration for strategic transport, its three possible configurations (COMBI, CARGO, and FULL PAX), its high flight range, its ability to be refuelled in flight (so-called. Receiver) and an overall payload of 25,000 kg, make it a fundamental asset in the landscape of the Air Force's capabilities. Furthermore, the possibility of refuelling other aircraft using both the “Flying Boom”both underwing pods equipped with refuelling pipes and droptanksHose and Droguerenders the KC-767A “compatible” with almost all aerotactical aircraft employed in the operation Inherent Resolve, and is therefore a highly sought-after arrangement.
