[PTI] In a bid to strengthen their military ties, Ukraine has offered to jointly develop a medium weight transport aircraft with India. “Ukraine has offered to jointly produce a 10-12 tonne class weight aircraft with us based on their already existing Antonov-148 commercial aircraft and the proposal is being considered by the government,” defence ministry officials told PTI. The payload carrying capacity of the proposed aircraft — An-178, offered by the Ukrainians to the Indian Air Force, will be between that of the C-130J and the force’s workhorse An-32 aircraft, they added.
