The Airbus A400M is a military prop aircraft. Below is the Airbus livery.
Quite similar to the Hercules C130.

Guess whatā¦ My mum calls it the āFat Planeāā¦
So in Chinese, é£ę© means Plane but when you change the first word to č„ and you get č„ę©ļ¼itās a little twist to the original word and thus means āFat Planeā hahaha
My mum is crazy hahahaha

I think size wise itās larger than a C130, but a lot smaller than a C17. Designed to fulfill most of the C130 combat missions

Well due to the age of the C130 more of a replacement!
In the RAF there are 2 squadrons of Voyagers ( A330 MRTT), 1 Squadron of C17, 2 squadrons of A400M and 2 of the C130ā¦s

I was thinking the same, and it is an Airbus after all so I was expecting to see more support. It seems the Airbus fans donāt like he A400M too much.
