In the run-up of and during the execution of exercise Pitch Black 2022, hosted by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), aerial refuelling capabilities of air forces are taking a centre stage. Tanker aircraft are absolutely critical assets to sustain military air operations, especially in an environment like the Indo-Pacific. Split up between RAAF bases Darwin and Amberley, a total of six nations – Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany as part of the Multinational Multirole Tanker Transport Unit (MMU), France, South Korea and Singapore – are operating the A330 MRTT as their principal tanker. They form part of more than 100 aircraft from 17 nations currently deployed to Australia for Pitch Black. Never before, under participation of the MMU, have so many A330 MRTT been employed in a military exercise of that scale.
