Just announced today.

Air Force selected the KC-30 as their new tanker.

KC-45A...gotta keep it a moving target so no-one will figure out it is not
a US of A airframe!

I was surprised to read that this morning. My company does production
forecasting for defense & aerospace programs. Many (including us) had
Boeing's KC-767 winning the contract. Interesting how many major
programs are foreign-sourced. UH-72A, C-27J, and now the KC-45A. While
these aircraft may be built and/or assembled in the US, they're still
foreign.

Like the Harrier too.
