See Russian company expected to bid on Air Force refueling tanker.

Now that Northrop Grumman has decided not to compete for the KC-X against Boeing, a Russian company will be proposing its tanker design based on the Russian Ilyushin Il-96, a four-engine commercial airliner.

This is a Russian-state owned aerospace company, United Aircraft Corporation. It will create a joint venture between a still to be announced U.S. contract company and UAC-America.

Nothing but the best for our American fighting forces.
