Reminds me very much of a Victor AAR training sortie when our new boss was being instructed by the senior squadron AARI. On a missed approach, instead of throttling back and trying again he decided to have a another quick stab at the drogue, which ended up in him rapidly approaching the underside of the other tanker. An abrupt nose down to avoid collison (as in the AWACS/KC135 incident) induced something like minus 2G and the interior of our aircraft became a shambles, with loose kit hitting the roof and falling back all over the place. I have a vivid picture of the squash in my cup heading vertically for the roof. Obviously we were all strapped in for AAR or there would have been injuries.
I recall our aircraft was declared Cat 3 and spent some time in the hangar before returning to service. Can't imagine the AWACS would have fared much better.
