Antonov An-32
[sws.flaffipony.rocks]
The Antonov An-32 was designed as an upgraded version of the Antonov An-26, a turboprop cargo/utility transport. Utilized for short-field performance, the An-32 boasts lifted engines to avoid FOD (foreign object damage) and improve takeoff capabilities. Mainly operated by militaries other than the Soviet Union, such as Afghanistan, India, Iraq and Mexico, as well as Aeroflot, the An-32 was used primarily in the cargo transport role, with some being used as a a passenger version, the An-32B-200, and a paratroop platform, the An32V-200; the most outlandish conversion was an Iraqi An-32 equipped to carry and drop bombs. Despite the wide range of capabilities the An-32 sports, it’s safety record is very, very bad, with 11 total accidents, with almost all resulting in the fatalities of it’s crew and passengers, the worst accident claimed 237 lives when an overloaded An-32 crashed into a market in the DRC. The An-32 still flies today, with 15 aircraft still employed with civilian airlines.
