One week ago I made a rather bold prediction about the prospects for a US Air Force contract for the Antonov AN-70.
This week, Russia and the Ukraine announced an agreement to officially re-start production of the sturdy airlifter, only two years after Russia abruptly dropped out of the project. (Read here for more.)
I don't know what this means for the aircraft's future competitiveness for a US Air Force order (per my prediction), but it does at least indicate the platform will be available for a long time to come.
