And that will probably give the Iranian Air Force more refueling tanker aircraft the the US Air Force currently has.

I don’t know why they would need them. Didn’t Kerry and Obama promise in the Nuke Deal that we would also protect them form harm.

Probably. I looked online but couldn't find the current number of U.S. tanker aircraft.

Israel is quite capable of defending itself, as we will likely see in the near future.

Exactly. I'd venture to say that Israeli sub commanders have already loaded their missile silos and are just waiting for the word.

Q. What do you call a fleet of 100 Russian IL78 MKI tanker aircraft?

A. A target rich environment.
