In the course of a 90-minute press briefing, the air chief said two of the six IL-78 refuellers had arrived from Uzbekistan and had been made operational. The rest would be introduced by the end of the year. He said the Su-30MKI and the long range Jaguar strike aircraft had been fitted with mid-air refuelling technology, while work was on to procure refuelling nozzles for the French Mirage 2000.
