How is the best way to deploy this unit. I'm not very familiar with this aircraft.

I'm running the scenario Operation Lightning Strike and would like to test how this unit works

Thanks

RC-135Ws are best use to passively detect and localise radar emitters.

While doing some research for my SW Asia scenarios, I ran across this book.

.
You'll find in in Google, also look for "Combat Apple".

Check to see if you have drogue or center line compatibility. Certain Air Refuelers or only compatible with certain planes. You have to make sure they are compatible on both ends.

I have both KC-10A Extenders and KC-135R Stratotankers in the area with my RC-135W Rivet Joint and it will not refuel with any of them.

My KC-135R Stratotankers have both Centerline Boom / Drogue
and

the KC-10A Extenders have Centerline Drogue
