Not only Qatar, the US Navy was not accepting those either since a while back. Don't know if that ever changed.

The whole KC-46 tanker program is quite the mess as well:

    At what point do you start to wonder if this level of mismanagement is purposeful? The number of flaws across multiple different programs. (Serious flaws no less.) The number of management missteps. It just feels almost like either a purposeful tanking, or the sort of slow motion, but accelerating, collapse that happens when you've filled every level of an organization with less than able people.
