Each tanker is capable of spontaneously feeding 6-8 fighter craft.

What does that even mean?

The IL-78 can refuel up to three aircraft simultaneously, but I don't think it can do so spontaneously. A little forethought needs to go into the decision to unreel the hoses and refuel aircraft.

i think the planes show up out of thin air, like poof, so they can get refueled. maybe via a transporter. Israelis are pretty smart.

Maybe they mean spontaneous as in spontaneously conbust.
