Nosegunner - whilst I concede that tankers need fewer timeslot allocations, the purpose of the JTIDS terminal in a tanker is rather more than just for the benefit of the pointy heads in fighters! It is needed for insurance against fratricide, threat warning and to optimise AAR employment. It will also provide other JUs with specific and relayed data...
I have always said that, had tankers in the ROZ had a JTIDS SRAP at the time, it is possible that the Blackhawk incident might have been averted as someone could have spotted the developing blue-on-blue and woken up the AWACS gang
