All aircraft going to air to air refuel capable but how many of them have achieve the capabilities until now?
 
Probably you are right but I think the one in the picture was a probe on testing which is indicative from yellow premier and same design is on other pictures as well ... whereas probe on the operational aircraft is slightly difference and slightly sleek ... I am attaching both of the pictures ... but both pictures are from internet so I am not sure about authenticity ...

Once you have a sample, It should be pretty simple to copy that, essentially it is a pipe extension/retraction system attached to a fuel reservoir and a pump with some sensors. I am very confident if this task is given to our aeronautical engineers they can replicate the system in a short time.



Would be cool if they can integrate the UPAZ pods to an airliner so that the force can benefit from a more fuel efficient platform.

First pic is with the first prototype probe, 2nd is the final design that went on aircraft.
