Italy has ordered six Airbus A330 MRTT aerial refueling tankers to enhance its air force capabilities. The new aircraft will enable extended support missions for F-35 fighter jets over longer distances. The A330 MRTT tankers offer Italy significantly greater capacity compared to its current aerial refueling fleet, which consists of Boeing KC-46A aircraft and aging KC-767A tankers.
