Ukraine’s state-run Ukroboronprom Concern has won the tender for the purchase of a certain number of An-178 military transport aircraft.

The Ukrainian An-178 transport aircraft will replace the Ukrainian An-32Bs in Latin American country.

To Ukroboronprom CEO Pavlo Bukin, the Ukrainian An-178 won against C-27 Spartan (USA-Italy) and C-295 (Airbus).

“Peru may become the first export training ground for a new aircraft created at SE Antonov. In this case, both the professionalism and perseverance of Ukroboronprom’s contractors and the legendary reliability of the Antonov brand played in our favor,” Bukin said.

The Spetstekhnoexport LLC, which is part of the state concern, participated in the tender.

In the competition, which evaluated performance, delivery time, extended guarantees, staff training, social and production preferences, An-178 was ahead of all competitors.

As The Journalist reported, Ukraine’s President appointed Abromavičius to Ukroboronprom’s Supervisory Board.
