«Чебурашка» АН-72 – совсем не сказочный персонаж

This multirole aircraft holds the record for highest-flying altitude among transport aircraft. It has been in service with the Russian Air Force for over 40 years, and to this day, it remains unrivaled in the skies for the range of missions it can perform. Recognizing its efficiency, many CIS countries, even after the collapse of the USSR, continue to carefully maintain the few Cheburashkas remaining in their militaries.
