          In principle, you can fly to Kiev without refueling.

      On airplanes equipped with an in-air refueling system, two additional lights are installed to illuminate the refueling rod and the cone. Plus the cone itself along the circular perimeter has, as you put it, "parking lights". At least on the Tu-95 and Tu-142 it is done like this.

          With the Tu-22M3 specially, through the efforts of Marked, in favor of the Americans, the "refueling" equipment was removed, so that he would switch from a strategist to a Euro bomber.
