regrettably the RAF versions do not have an AAR capability. A great pity as otherwise the aircraft would be able to meet all mission requirements at MPA and there would be no need to keep a Voyager down there wasting its time.....
I hafta wonder about that. Usually, when one needs lots of air transports, one also need lots of air tankers. Having Voyagers frees up the A400 to transport combat units while the Voyagers transport fuel. And the A400 only has 111,300 lbs of fuel capacity, so it would make a mediiocre air tanker at best. MRTT carries 245,000 lbs, so more than twice as much. I think RAF made a wise choice.
