I suspect that Russia will not launch any large scale offensive in this war. They will simply consolidate their positions and make some incremental gains in the Donbas region and Zaporizhia. In Kherson, they will simply remain on the east side of the river and consolidate their position. Any small p...

Antonov is in Ukraine. Most of their factories and infrastructure has been destroyed. Absolutely no chance for the AN-178 to come out anytime soon.

The best solution would be to get 24-36 C-130J pure cargo format planes and replace the balance AN-32s with C-295s.
