Similar in appearance to the U.S. C-141 but superior in many respects, the Il-76 is the main transport aircraft of the Soviet forces. It is also used by civil operators. The military version often has a tail gun turret and ECM equipment. It is a much-used platform for other missions, including the Il-78 'Midas' tanker and A-50 'Mainstay' AWACS aircraft.
