India may succeed Saudi Arabia in the project, Donets tells UNIAN. Two months ago, an An-132D was flown in a demonstration flight in Bangalore at Aero India 2019. Donets said: “The plane made a good impression, largely because it was created on the basis of the AN-32, which is well-proven in the operation of the Indian Air Force.” Traditionally supplied by Soviet aircraft, India’s air force uses 104 An-32 cargo planes, the 1980s/1990s predecessor of the An-132D. Antonov has signed a commitment to participate in the ‘Make in India’ program and is now waiting the outcome later this month of India’s general election.
