Air-to-air refueling

[JOYFUL_CLOVR]

Will the eurofighter "amalgamation" we are getting have air to air refueling capability? 

[Etirion]

I think we can be pretty certain of that, I'm not aware of a single in-service Eurofighter that can't AAR.

It should get it. I dont have anything that suggests that fielded variants lacked AAR capabilities(Development aircraft had it, you can see it on pictures).

here is a DA4 development aircraft and you can clearly see the spot above the right foreplane where the refueling probe is hidden

With that being said, I'm hoping for an A400M AI asset to go alongside the Eurofighter for refueling

I wouldn't get your hopes up but it would be a nice touch.

Or the A330 MRTT.

Fast jets refuelling from a turboprop just looks strange

yeah but the A400M is, just like the Eurofighter, a beauty
