India, Oz ink mid-air refuel pact

AUSTRALIA and India have agreed to take steps to enable the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and the Indian armed forces to conduct mid-air refueling. This is a major step towards interoperability between the two air forces.

The Australian Defence Ministry on Thursday said Minister for defence industry and capability delivery Pat Conroy and India's defence minister Rajnath Singh announced the arrangement during discussions on Thursday.

"Under the arrangement, RAAF's air-to-air refueling aircraft, the KC-30A multi-role tanker transport will be able to refuel Indian armed forces' aircraft," it added.

Deputy chief of air force Air Vice-Marshal Harvey Reynolds signed the arrangement on November 19 in New Delhi at Australia-India Air Staff Talks.

Air Vice-Marshal Reynolds welcomed the arrangement, saying it strengthens the defence relationship between the two countries.
