EGELION TRYING OUT DUNDORFISCHE AIR REFUELING TANKERS
 
ODERVELD - LEUCHTFEUER
 
Defence Ministry, August 27, 5718: After Defence Minister Gerda Kempf met with senior Defence Ministry staff on initiating a review of our missile posture, ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER asked the Defence Minister what was the latest on interaction with the Kingdom of Egelion, and Kempf replied:
 

Well, our Meridia Task Force, the fifteen warships the Lourennais Royal Navy gave to the Bundeswehr during the life of the Humanitarian Alliance, are now operating as part of the Western Armada of the Navy of the Kingdom of Egelion, learning valuable skills and techniques for functioning as as an integral part of a Fleet with wide ranging strike and defense capacity.
 
Further, the Air Force of the Kingdom of Egelion has shown an interest in the DHL A 310 MRTT aerial refueling tankers employed by the Luftwaffe to support our aerial transport fleet which is an essential part of the operational capacity of the Luftwaffe since the Bundesrepublik is landlocked, the only such nation on Terra.
 
The aerial transport fleet was used to transport troops from the Bundersrepublik  to support the Kingdom of Lourenne when it was attacked by Seko and thanks to aerial refueling, the operation was done without an intermediate landing.
 
The agreement reached between the Kingdom of Egelion and the Bundesrepublik is that five of the newest DHL A 310 MRTT aerial refueling aircraft will be transferred from the Luftwaffe to the Royal Air force of the Kingdom of Egelion.  Training in operation, repair and maintenance will be conducted by Luftwaffe personnel and access to parts and manufacturers’ supporting services will be arranged by Onerkommado Bundeswehr’s (OKB) Procurement Division with Dundorfische Hoch Logistik (DHL).  The cost will be at a steep discount.
 
Should the Royal Air Force of the Kingdom of Egelion find the DHL A 310 MRTT useful, the OKB Procurement Division, Ableitung II, will arrange for the purchase of more from DHL.
 
OKB Ableitung II will in the meantime purchase five DHL A 310 MRTT’s from DHL to  be delivered over the next 21 months to bring our aerial refueling complement back to 30 aircraft as has been the arrangement with DHL for some years.

 
The DHL A 310 MRTT is a multi role refueling tanker primarily designed for air to air refueling of military aircraft. In actual practice support of the Luftwafffe’s troop transport fleet and its escorts.The DHL A 310 MRTT can be used as well for cargo or passenger transport or medical evacuation.
 
The DHL A 310 MRTT is  a twin jet wide bodied jet aircraftr which is a variant of the DHL Truppenbeweger A 310, currently the Luftwaffe’s primary aerial troop transport, which is itself a variant of a DHL commercial cargo transport aircraft.  In all, it can carry 88,200 litres of deliverable fuel for refueling.
 
There are three in the crew, and two turbofan jet engines producing a maximum speed of 978 kilometers per hour with a range of 8889 kilometers.  The maximum takeoff weight is 164,000 kilograms and can be readily adapted to carry 214 passengers should the need arise.
