pr00ne do you really think his brain and lips were connected?
It must be capacity not quantity* ... clearly we will never need them in more than one place.

*unless he is refering to four C-130Js

Why does no MP ever ask the obvious question: 'Why does virtually every other major A400M operator also have a number of smaller aircraft'

Wallace:
The simple reality is the A400 outperforms it (the Hercules), its availability was extremely successful, the Hercules only accounts for 10% of the fleet and the overall fleet for lift is now the biggest it has been for 50 years.
Cartlidge:
“The largest number of evacuees carried out of Sudan by the Hercules was 143. The largest number in a A400 I can confirm was around 100 more than that.”
