Did you hear that NATO has 2 x AN-124 in service? They are leased on the basis of Salis (Strategic Airlift Interim Solution) and based in LEJ/Germany for rapid troop and equipment transport if needed by NATO.
Operated by a partnership of Volga Dnepr & Antonov on behalf of NATO...
Yes of course, and not only is Canada party to that agreement, we use them regularly. An-124s delivered tanks for us to Afghanistan recently. And now that Volga-Dnepr has received its first ICAO Annex 16, Chapter 4 approved 50 ton capacity IL-76s, they should be included in SALIS to do flights the An-124s are inadequate for.
