Last year we saw yet another alternative mission: electronic warfare. The A400M could become a platform for the active interference of enemy systems. This role could be of great interest to Spain, as the Air Force lost this capability years ago with the retirement of the Falcon 20 TM.11 "Brujo" and the Boeing 707 TM.17-4 "Reina del Espectro" from the 47th Mixed Air Force Group. Significantly, Airbus Defence has not mentioned this capability among its next-generation missions for the A400M.
Porque no tiene sentido ? Porque un A321XLR nuevecito cuesta entre 30 y 40M$ MENOS que un A400M y con costes operativos aun inferiores ?
