Although the design showed promise as an An-12 replacement (and was even considered as a new airlifter by western air forces before the A400 was chosen), the An-70 has failed to gain the necessary support for production. Re-registered UR-EXA in April 2013. Seen at Istres AB in France in September 2015 as Ukraine AF "02 blue". Evacuated to Deblin in Poland after the Russian invasion This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
