Powered by four Rolls-Royce AE 2100D3 turboprop engines, it delivers excellent performance in tough conditions and unprepared airstrips. Its ability to carry up to 128 troops or 92 paratroopers, or various combinations of vehicles and equipment, makes it one of the most valuable tactical transport aircraft in service today.
