I doubt that. They may be a pilot of AN-32 but not IL-76

then what what is IL-476.
China ordered 76 of them from Rusiia..

It came after C-17 demos in Aero-India..

C-17 are operational where as IL-476 is not..

Remember, IL-476 will have similar spare problems as IL-76MD in IAF..

The major reason India looking at C-17 besides it preform-ace is regular spare supplies and delivery time..

Lady officer pitols of iAF do fly IL -76 MD or for that matter all transport aircraft...
