    Yep. Exactly like A400M.

    Now, let us move forward to 2025 or so . . . what’s the probability that there will be lots of contented A400M customers? Pretty high, I’d say.

    Id say pretty low……….

    Hawkdriver, we get what you mean, it’s just you are arguing that you ‘know’ something that is subject to a lot of external factors between now and the ships entering service.

    You have made your thoughts, opinions and views on this subject very well known to everyone on this thread, perhaps it’s time to let the matter rest.

    Thanks for bringing it back up after 10 days. But, please, tell me after 15 to 20 years of steady cuts……what has changed in London that there will be a massive increase the FAA?

    Erm…

    400M is a POS.

    If it were up to me, the Antonov would have been used.

    Oh I agree. Just dont tell any eurofans!:diablo:

    The point of the A400M has never been hidden. Europe are sick of relying on the Us for certain key products, so they’re going to build something themselves, and while they’re at it they’ll make a better and newer airlifter with decent export potential.

    They have been building for themselves for the past 25 years. Tornado, Typhoon, Rafael, Tiger, Mangusta, Gripen, Lynx, Merlin, NH90, Hawk, C-160, various Mirages come to mind.

    No.

    I tried to tell you guys. A330 was simply NOT politicaly acceptable.

    No, not most other countries. In addition, defense budget does not only relate to hardware procurment but also (or rather mostly) personnel payment, and with most armies worldwide going more and more professional, that makes quite a difference.

    But never mind, let’s agree that it’s only in Europe. So what makes UK any different than any other country in Europe? —->

    So, basically you don’t have a point.

    If you could read it would be plain…….but I see you have a lack of reading comprehension skills, so I wont even try with you.
