Ilyushin Il-276

The Ilyushin Il-276, also known by its Russian programme name SVTS and earlier as the MTA and the Il-214, is a medium-airlift military transport aircraft under development in Russia. It is designed for regular transport duties and to deploy up to 150 paratroopers or up to 20 tonnes of cargo. A joint venture between Russia's United Aircraft Corporation and India's Hindustan Aeronautics was formed in 2009 to build it, intended to replace the Indian Air Force's ageing Antonov An-32 fleet, but in January 2016 India was reported to have left and Russia went on alone. It received the name Il-276 in 2017, and in June 2020 the Russian Ministry of Defense announced its selection as the new medium military transport. Two Aviadvigatel PD-14M turbofans are expected to power it on top-mounted wings with a T-tail, and Ilyushin aims for a production rate of 12 a year by 2029.
