I am a little surprised that Airbus has not produced a gunship variant
of the A400 to compete with the modern versions of the AC-130.


Gunships are an american concept that work only in very specific
roles; and only a rich air force can support such large single-role
planes.

And the A400 is far larget than the C-130.
