Wedge is wedge. SPM & combo are a different matter. 4 containers off the ramp is fine but to be fair you could put 4 CDS containers followed by static line jumpers out the back of a J (if someone could come up with a cogently written requirement) Not a Herc vs A400 dig by the way, just a comment on the utility of different airdrop loads.

Good to see the A400 progressing through its trials though. Here's hoping that when it comes into RAF service it gets crewed by the right folk early on who can set the ethos and drive its development as a TacAT platform.
