Absolutely. Multiple countries already using A330 tankers, it’s the best gas passer I’ve ever taken gas from, and it’s not a Boeing. We are retarded for not having done this years ago.

The MRTT (A330 tanker) carries eight 463L pallets (four in the bottom aft lobe and four in the bottom forward lobe). It also doesn't carry ISU-80/90s due to the height restrictions in the lower cargo lobes. The KC-46 carries 10 463L pallets centerline, 18 463L pallets side-by-side, has aero medevac litters in all jets, etc. The USAF isn't buying tankers just to refuel like the KC-135 originally was built for.
