I seem to remember the Americans have some of these ?
It's total package (see link), a bit like having E.3D, Typhoon, Gr.4, Harrier, VC-10, Chinook/Merlin and Apache/Lynx/Harrier in a composite wing.
E.3D for AEW cover, VC10 for fuel, Typhoon to kill interceptors, GR.4s' to vandalise and generally blow things up, Chinook and Merlin to provide 'CSAR' and Apache/Lynx/Harrier for CSAR top cover
...never happen
'Squadron' was a fun series, A sadly lost friend was one of the Herc pilots.
Chas FK you're not forgotten.
