Israel’s Ministry of Defense announced Monday that the new “Gideon” refueling aircraft has successfully completed its first test flight in U.S. airspace.
The aircraft is a KC-46 model manufactured by Boeing. Its first test flight marks an important step before its expected delivery to the Israeli Air Force in about a month.
Once delivered, the aircraft will be integrated into the IAF’s operational system and is expected to strengthen Israel’s strategic air capabilities.
The “Gideon” is the first of six refueling aircraft purchased by the Ministry of Defense’s procurement mission in the United States.
The acquisition is part of a wider force buildup program led by the Ministry of Defense for the IDF. The program focuses on strengthening Israel’s third- and fourth-circle capabilities, giving the country greater reach against distant threats.
The aircraft will be fitted with advanced Israeli technological systems and adapted to the unique operational needs of the Israeli Air Force.
Its main role will be to extend the range of Israeli fighter jets and help the IAF maintain air superiority across all arenas.
