Czech pilots were the first in the world to do it. They refueled Gripens in flight at night

In the dark, in flight and at ten thousand meters above the ground. The pilots of the 211th Tactical Squadron from the Čáslav Tactical Air Force Base mastered an extremely challenging situation in which they carried out a night refueling of a Gripen. They thus became the first operational unit of the Czech Army to achieve such a maneuver.
