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.

Never before, under participation of the MMU, have so many A330 MRTT been employed in a military exercise of that scale.
