Reuters has seen a document signed last week between Airbus and seven NATO nations that allows the former to deliver the A400M without some of its promise features.

The aerospace giant also promise “all necessary support and resources to the A400M program.”

The document also failed to specify what “permanent non-compliance” features are to be removed from the transport plane’s specifications.
