The concept of the Prospective Airborne Complex of Military-Transport Aviation (PAK VTA) will be finally determined in 2020. It has to replace the heavy An-124-100 airlifter. The Ilyushin Company is engaged in the R&D. It also upgrades Ruslan airlifter to An-124-100M. The technical project is to be approved in late 2019. After that the airlifter will be completely Russian, the Army Standard writes.
