Description
The Il-276 is a medium military transport aircraft developed by the Russian company Ilyushin. The project started as a joint venture between India and Russia, initially named the Multirole Transport Aircraft (MTA) or Il-214. However, India withdrew from the project around 2015, and Russia continued the development alone, renaming it to Il-276. The Il-276 is expected to have a twin-turbofan design, with a high-wing configuration to allow for better cargo loading and unloading. It is designed to replace older transport aircraft like the Antonov An-12. The aircraft is projected to have a payload capacity of around 20 tons. It is designed to be capable of transporting both troops and various types of cargo, including vehicles. In terms of performance, while exact specifications might vary, it is expected to have a cruising speed of around 800 km/h and a range of approximately 2000-2500 km with a full payload.Once completed, the Il-276 is expected to play a significant role in modernizing the Russian military's transport fleet, providing a more modern and efficient means of transporting troops and equipment compared to older aircraft in the fleet.
