Hmm, not sure, this article for May 2017 indicated that paratrooper dropping and defensive equipment was still of concern at least in Germany- not sure that has been worked out. Also the French seem to have given up as using them to refuel helos, and ordered more C-130's. Worrisome that it looks like some capabilities will be dropped entirely. Not good. If only the C-17 line could have held out a few more years....
