Although it shows Il-76TD on the nose section, our Soviet Transports database reports this aircraft as just a Il-76T. This monster, pictured during a fast take-off from Kandahar, is former Iraqi Air Force YI-AKV, delivered on 18 May'81. It then was registered CCCP-78731 and RA-78731. Became EP-TPS, returned to RA-78731. Became EX-046, UN-76022, UP-I7618, UR-CPS, EX-76011 and eventually ST-JAN. The Il-76T crashed on 21 Oct'24 after it was shot down by missiles near Al Malha, North Darfur by Rapid Support Forces fighters on a flight from El Fasher, killing all five crew onboard.
