A refueling tanker is commonly referred to as an "air-to-air refueling tanker" or simply a "tanker." In military contexts, specific types of tankers may have designations like KC-135 or KC-46, indicating their role and capabilities. These aircraft are designed to transfer fuel to other aircraft in flight, enhancing their operational range and endurance.

You call a ship that is built to transport oil a tanker.
Spacecraft can be refueled in space through a variety of methods, such as docking with a refueling module, transferring fuel through fuel lines, or utilizing in-space refueling technologies. Some spacecraft are designed with the ability to receive fuel from a separate tanker spacecraft, which can transfer propellant to the target spacecraft to extend its mission duration or reach distant destinations.
I am not sure, I wrote tanker.
Yes, a C-130 can refuel in the air, but it requires specialized equipment and modifications. Typically, the C-130 is equipped with a refueling probe and can receive fuel from tanker aircraft using the probe-and-drogue method. Some versions of the C-130, like the KC-130, are specifically designed for air-to-air refueling and can also refuel other aircraft.
In Kannada, we call them Totti (water tank) or Pirangi-rathagalu (army tanker).
