RAF Fleet
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the minimum number of aircraft is needed to meet his Department's air-to-air refuelling requirement.
- Answer
-
There are 22 aircraft in the current air-to-air refuelling (AAR) fleet. We judge that this fleet provides enough capability to meet the requirement set by the Ministry of Defence centrally for the estimated peak activity for the most demanding scenarios for which we plan.For our future capability, the minimum number of aircraft will depend on a range of factors including the overall capabilities of the aircraft selected to carry out the role.
