Which has been a complete shitshow while the Airbus alternative keeps snagging up customers around the world.
> By January 2021, Boeing's losses on the program were estimated at $5 billion (~$5.55 billion in 2023).[88] At the time, it was expected that the KC-46 would not be combat ready until at least late 2023.[89]
