A military newspaper said Wednesday the Chinese Air Force had mastered midair refueling, making China the fifth country in the world to accomplish the risky procedure.

I've tanked off Canadian, Australian, British and of course U.S. tankers. Tanking countries off the top of my head include France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Iran, Kuwait, and the list goes on and on.

The five countries statement is incorrect.

More like the twenty-fifth.

Five at least (Argentina, Australia, Great Britain, Israel, United States) have done it when it counted - at war.
