Last line of the article is hilarious.....
"We only want you to buy new, expensive stuff....!"
According to a report from the Globes business daily in August, Boeing would not grant Israel Aerospace Industries permission to convert used 767s into tanker planes, which would be significantly cheaper than purchasing new KC-46s.

But why buy A330MRTT if you can get KC-46 for free through US military aid program...
