Iran has reportedly purchased 100 aircraft that have the ability to refuel 6-8 warplanes simultaneously.
The purchase of 100 Russian IL78 MKI tanker aircraft that was placed with Moscow last year is in complete defiance of the terms of the nuclear agreement between the six world powers and Iran signed in Vienna earlier this month.

There are only about 34 IL78 MKI tanker aircraft operational right now and Russia has 19 of them. So I’m not sure where Iran is getting 100 of them.
Putting in an order for and actually purchasing are two different things. Russia doesn’t have 100 of those to sell in the first place.
Well if it’s on Facebook it must be true.
Obama bought it for them..

BS, by the way. The IL78 can fuel four planes simultaneously on the ground but only three at a time while flying. It can carry sufficient fuel to refuel 6-8 aircraft on a single mission. Also, the purchase of 100 tankers is ludicrous as that would mean Iran could (if all were flying at once) fuel 600 to 800 aircraft. That number is WAY beyond what they have available.
