Goldfein: USAF Won’t Use KC-46 Unless It Has To
Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein told Senate legislators March 3 the service would not use the new KC-46 tanker unless absolutely necessary to fight a powerful adversary. “If we go to a high-end contingency, we will put every KC-46 we have into the fight,” Goldfein said of a conflict with a country like Russia or China. “We won’t use it for day-to-day operations, but it will be made available for a contingency.”
