Bloody waste of money. We should bin the A400M and used the cash saved to buy more C-17s and C-130Js, saving enough to add all the required bells and whistles for those.
A400M is being bought purely because it will help European aerospace and the capability it brings is not worth the additional support costs for a third AT type. If the Army start bitching about FRES, tell them they can stick it on a C-17.
