How is it interoperable if you cannot refuel your own planes ? Sounds like the opposite of interoperability to me

This is a problem of RAF, they're at fault for not getting their hardware in order, everyone else can do it fine.

Because 1 component is incompetent doesn't change the point of NATO integration.

This came up with Isreali Jets too, the RAF have known about this but seem to be doing nothing.

Section : 3.4.5. Fuel delivery methods

These standards are implemented elsewhere in NATO. Infact the RAF might be the ONLY ones not capable.

Edit for clarity on missing boom fuel syste,.
