Less speed. Don't mix up certified air speeds for civil aircrafts with possible airspeeds for non existing tankers which ancestors got problems with fluttering wings.

The KC-10 is nonexistent? (and its speed is significantly faster than your "modern" plane by an inarguable degree) And likewise the KC-767 is non-existent? With four already delivered? And a REAL boom in prospect? Unlike yours? And with upgraded REAL wings available from U.S. fabrication...not French?

As for the KC-767A for Italy is still not in service.

Due to Italy's own misproduction. And this is just more proof that you don't and shouldn't outsource from Europe. Look at the brou-ha-ha between the French workers and Spanish workers at Airbus right now. Total SNAFU. It's getting uglier every day over there.

I read somewhere best wings are made in Japan, second best is UK and behind Brazil, Russia and others the US? We'll see how god Japanese wings are.

Yep, and there is more misproduction:
“Boeing's Exit Opens Door for EADS To Build C-27J”
http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=3614911&c=AME&s=AIR

The possibility of assembling the C-27J at the Mobile site has arisen because Alenia recently broke off negotiations with Boeing over managing a facility in Jacksonville, Fla., for the Spartan twin-prop.

Unbelievable!
Will Alenia build the stabilizer also in Mobil?
