Indeed, mate:
Robbin Laird, co-founder of the Second Line of Defense aerospace Website, said he was troubled about Boeing's decision to delay delivery of the second batch of refueling planes.

"If you've really solved the problems, you could deliver all four tankers," Laird said, questioning when Italy would be able to use the first two planes to bring fuel to fighter planes.

"If they want to build the tanker for the U.S. Air Force, they should be able to demonstrate that they can build a relatively simple tanker for the Italians," Laird said.
And build it within the promised time frame!
