Military Operators

Guernsey as a military operator? The Channel Islands have no armed forces. Nigel Ish 22:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Police maybe (paramilitary)? - Aerobird ^{Target locked - Fox One!} 02:19, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I think its meant to be Equatorial Guinea and the wrong map template got put in - the list of users had Equatorial Guinea instead of Guernsey before it was switched to the list of map templates, and it is a more credible operator. Nigel Ish 22:26, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

You're right - I've fixed it. - Aerobird ^{Target locked - Fox One!} 01:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Wow...

A turboprop aircraft with a climb rate of 640 m/s, nearly twice the speed of sound... That's pretty impressive. Rocknrollsuicide (talk) 21:09, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Ukraine loses 5 Indian An-32s

Defence News (http://vz.ru/news/2015/3/29/736968.html) reports that India sent 40 of its An-32s to Ukraine for overhaul and upgrades, but Ukraine returned only 35 of the 40. 5 planes have disappeared without a trace. Santamoly (talk) 06:26, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Dedicated article for Antonov An-132

I think that An-132 should have dedicated article, as it new type, not only re-motorized version of An-32. An-132 has new nose and first section of fuselage (based on Antonov An-140 design), equipped with new avionics and P&W engine. First aircraft of final assembly stage and will be rolled out in December 2016--Jin (talk) 09:55, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

While it is just an unflown prototype its probably best to leave it here (in the variants section) while it is developed ith a the mention already under variants, when it goes into serious production it may be worth looking at breaking it out into an article then.

Turnaround time

Want to know turnaround time of air craft IL 76,An 32 and Mi 17. ShailyT (talk) 09:42, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Probably impossible to answer with so many variables. MilborneOne (talk) 09:47, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Russian and Ukraine Air Force An-32s?

Twice in the article, An-32s are supposedly operated by the Russian and Ukrainian Air Forces in large numbers; however, I have been unable to verify this - a quick Google Search of 'Russian An-32s' yields no military results. Same for Ukraine.

If we cannot establish the reliability of this claim, should this section be deleted from the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sterling Saini (talk • contribs) 09:26, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Design: typo?

"engines raised 1.5 m above the wing" takes quite a lot of believing - sounds like an engine installation similar to the Do X and other seaplanes of the interbellum era. Could it be the height increase is 15 cm? Jan olieslagers (talk) 17:58, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
