Interesting thing with transponders

"Transport" military aircraft may or may not have TCAS, it depends on
their vintage, and they do not have an air to air radar to "ping" a

I know the C-5 has TCAS. It uses squitter mode and interrogates
transponders.
The KC-135 has TCAS. I am almost certain it too interrogates.
(I should know this, but I did not update the transponder model for
the KC-135 simulators, and cannot recall. Military aircraft are subject
to continuous performance updates.)
