Lol, no air refueling capability? 
As a result of their deal, the A400M will do a little less than planned.
Some capabilities –– such as the ability to hug the ground to avoid enemy radar –– were dropped to save money, while others, even key ones such as mid-flight refueling, will only be gradually added later. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/A400M-deal-makes-performance-apf-2516418697.html?x=0 |

I hate the EuroTurkey A400M
Bought for the RAF for political, rather than practical reasons, the RAF wanted C-17's |

I'm guessing the A400M would also mean no more wink, wink, nudge, nudge USAF parts supply chain vs. cases of scotch.

The A400M is ideally suited to Euro Air Forces who want to pretend they have a strategic airlift capability but can't actually afford it.
