yes because their ‘superior’ t-50 can’t just refuel itself.

I know the Russians/Soviets used old Mya-4 “Bison” bombers as refueling planes but they were phased out in the mid 1990’s.

All of Russia’s aircraft us the Hose and Drogue method of refueling. This means that just about any aircraft can be made into a tanker. The U.S. Navy, using buddy stores, routinely make aircraft such as the F/A-18 into temporary tankers.
Why they insist on a specially modified IL-78 for refueling instead of modifying their fleet of IL-76s to accept underwing refueling pods is beyond me.
