The Atlas certainly
could, but guess what - the RAF hasn't included a tanker role requirement for the Atlas
Do I recall correctly that those clever folks that wrote the UK tanker deal get it expressly written that the A-400 in UK would NOT have the abilty to pass fuel?
Seems they feared cancellation/reduced orders for Voyager if the A-400 was a competetor.
Clever lawyers on ther part- very shortsighted of the MoD to sign it. Shamefull. The UK got hosed (pun intended) on that deal.
