Planes refuelling during flight

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that the US military flaunted how it was really upgrading its combat power. The country’s navy achieved a record it had never got before.

In a video shared by CNN on Monday, June 7, an unmanned drone fueled a fighter jet called F/A-18. In the short clip, the plane maintained mid-air slow speed as a drone stayed in its front.

It was gathered that the drone called MQ-25 Stingray was able to fuel the jet with a probe-and-drogue method.
