Very likely not an issue. C-17 has much bigger turbofans and does not have FOD problems operating from unpaved/austere airfields. And C-17 has shown that a turbofan in a properly designed nacelle...

In the air-to-air refueling department, the KC-390 is very likely going to be better than the A400M. A400M's wake turbulence at helicopter speeds is excessive. That problem is reportedly being...

Two comments:

RAF owns their C-17s now. It's no longer a lease arrangement.

Maybe, maybe not. This is much is certain: the buyers of the C-17 have ALL bought the Boeing support package, even the ones who...
