We were one of the initial funders. The project got too expensive to continue funding. We pulled out.

It has become difficult to acquire new military gear under this economy.

frumentius:


Pulling out was a rather stupid decision. Yes the delays at Airbus resulted in a cost escalation, but compare that with what we've been paying since then to charter heavy lift. And of course, it didn't help that someone at MoD confused the life-cycle price with the sale price, and the resulting public outrage was simply too much.
Indonesia is paying $2 billion for 5 planes whilst we were going to pay $2.5 billion for 8!
At least Denel Aerostructures and the rest of our aeronautical industry are still working on the A400M and earning from it. And Airbus hasn't given up trying to sell it to us. That's why they signed an agreement guaranteeing Airbus dynamic components to support any future Rooivalk MK2. So the nonsense that killed prospective Rooivalk sales to Turkey and Australia will not be repeated.

Patchesagain:


If we get anything it will be new C130's.

Americans are offering them at the same price they sell them to the USAF... thats too good a deal to turn your nose up at.

But then again... Germans said they would finance a sale of excess A400M's

Jesus, I just want this to end.
