YG - I must apologise for my lack of clarity; what I had in mind was, say, an MPA charging in to release weapons against the SSN, with the
pilot thinking 'y'know, this'd be a tad easier were we not plugged into the
tanker at this very moment..
I think you probably realize that you presented us with a self-contradictory scenario. If I tracked the conversation correctly, you were making fun of one of the assertions of A400M topping off during the mission, but I may have crossed wires on whose posts were up for response.
For those not aware, I'll name no names ... just as with fighters air to air refueling is typically not done while tactically engaged.
That said, I had to laugh at the mental picture you drew.
