航空自衛隊(空自)はボーイング社から空中給油用であるKC-46型機を発注する。
日本は追加の二機を有償援助による防衛装備品等(Foreign Military Sale: FMS)調達方式なる段取りで以前の契約付オプションとして、そのオプション行使経由で入手する。
日本へ最初のKC-46機納入予定日は2021年のスケジュールとなっている。
米空軍が空自の追加3機目と4機目の納入オプション経由のFMS調達を後押しした。
米空軍KC-46システムプログラムマネージャーであるJason Lindsey大佐によれば、「日本の新しい空中給油機は、日米両国の相互安全関係においてかけがえのない役割を果すものである。」
日本はボーイング側から初めのKC-46機体・ロジスティックスサービスのFMS調達契約を2017年12月に交した。
日本への2機目のKC-46受注契約はボーイング社と2018年12月付けで交された。
