As part of the RAF's continuous strategic capability evaluation, and the ten year Equipment Plan processes, we are constantly reviewing Defence's requirements. Defence is considering the future requirements for air-to-air refuelling capability beyond 2035, and decisions will be taken as part of future Integrated Reviews and Equipment Plans.
