Amerika yongera kwerekeza indege za KC-46A muri Pasifika kubera intera ndende
KC-46A Pegasus ni indege ikoreshwa cyane mu kongera lisansi mu zindi ndege ziri mu kirere. Ubushobozi bwayo butuma izindi ndege zishobora gukora ingendo ndende no kumara igihe kinini mu kirere zitarasubiye ku birindiro. Izi ndege zatangiye gukorera Ingabo zirwanira mu kirere za Amerika mu 2019, zisimbura buhoro buhoro KC-135 Stratotanker zimaze imyaka myinshi zikoreshwa.
KC-135 zatangiye gukorwa mu 1957, mu gihe KC-46A yubakiye ku ikoranabuhanga rigezweho kandi ishingiye ku ndege ya Boeing 767. KC-46A ifite ubuhe bushobozi? Ikindi kiyitandukanya na KC-135 ni uko ishobora gukoresha uburyo bubiri bwo kongera lisansi. Ibi bituma ishobora gufasha ubwoko butandukanye bw’indege, zirimo iz’Ingabo zirwanira mu kirere ndetse n’iz’Ingabo zirwanira mu mazi n’abasirikare barwanira mu kirere ba Marine Corps. Izi nyungu zituma KC-46A iba ingenzi mu bikorwa aho indege nyinshi zitandukanye zikenera gukorera hamwe. Kuki Pasifika ari ingenzi kuri Amerika? Intera ndende iri hagati y’ibirindiro bya Amerika n’uturere two muri Pasifika ni imwe mu mbogamizi zikomeye ku bikorwa by’ingabo zayo. Mu gihe indege z’intambara zigomba gukora urugendo rurerure, kongera lisansi ziri mu kirere bishobora kuzifasha gukomeza ibikorwa aho guhagarika urugendo ngo zisubire ku birindiro. Ni yo mpamvu KC-46A zikomeje kugaragara mu myitozo n’ibikorwa bya gisirikare muri Aziya-Pasifika, harimo ku birindiro bya Andersen muri Guam na Misawa mu Buyapani. Amerika iracyakeneye KC-135 Nubwo KC-46A zifite ubushobozi buhanitse, Amerika ntirashobora guhita ireka gukoresha KC-135. Umubare wa KC-135 ukiri mu bubiko bw’Ingabo zirwanira mu kirere uracyari munini ugereranyije n’indege nshya za KC-46A. Bityo, KC-135 zizakomeza kugira uruhare mu bikorwa byo kongera lisansi mu myaka iri imbere. Hagati aho, Amerika irimo kongera umubare wa KC-46A. Gahunda zayo zerekana ko izi ndege zizakomeza kugurwa no gutangwa ku gipimo kiri hejuru mu myaka iri imbere. Gushyira KC-46A muri Pasifika burundu bifite ibyiza n’ibibazo Gushyira izi ndege hafi y’ahashobora gukorerwa ibikorwa bya gisirikare bishobora gutuma Amerika ibasha gutabara vuba mu gihe bibaye ngombwa. Ariko hari n’ikibazo cy’umutekano. Ibirindiro by’indege biri hafi y’ahashobora kubera amakimbirane bishobora kuba intego y’ibitero. Ibi bituma Amerika ihura n’ikibazo cyo kuringaniza ibintu bibiri: kugira ingabo n’indege hafi y’ahashobora gukenerwa, ariko nanone kuzishyira ahantu hashobora kuba hafite umutekano uhagije. KC-46A zishobora gukomeza kugira uruhare runini Mu gihe Amerika ikomeje kongera ubushobozi bwayo muri Aziya na Pasifika, KC-46A Pegasus zishobora gukomeza kuba imwe mu ndege z’ingenzi mu gufasha indege z’intambara gukora ibikorwa ku ntera ndende. Nubwo nta bimenyetso bihagije byerekana ko Amerika yamaze gushyira burundu umubare munini wa KC-46A muri Pasifika, izi ndege zisanzwe zoherezwa muri ako karere mu myitozo no mu bikorwa bitandukanye.
