The Antonov An-70 is a Ukrainian/Russian medium military-transport aircraft designed for heavy payloads, short-field operations, and rapid movement of vehicles, troops, cargo, and paratroopers. Its four propfan engines and rough-field capability made it an important post-Cold-War transport technology demonstrator and a proposed successor to the An-12, although production remained limited.
