IL-112 vid.

Note:  I read on the Aviationist website about the Russians looking for a replacement for the AN-26.  He mentioned the IL-112.

I like it!  We need the Russian fully in the armored vehicle/aircraft/ship design game again.  The Chinese are simply copying Western designs and the Europeans are simply following the US' lead (by that I mean that they aren't innovating, they're simply seeing what the US military sees as an issue and building to meet that....in essence they're building variations on a US theme).

The Russians could be counted on to come up with unique solutions to problems.

We need that, if only to keep us on our toes.
