Plug-type (and non-plug type) Rear-Doored Cargo Aircraft

[Dagger Dirk]

Looking into a comparison between Russian cargo-lifters and Western varieties. Understand that most Russian design cargo airplanes are ex-military and sport non-plug type rear-ramped cargo doors. Can anyone confirm this?

Can anybody confirm that C130, C-141 and C-17 aft clamshell doors are plug type? What about C-5?

What are the safety features of the Western designs that (seem to) preclude the type of mass disgorgement depressurisation accident recently seen in the Congo (the Ukrainian Air Force IL-76)?

C-141 OUTWARD opening ramp, OUTWARD opening clamshells.
C-5 OUTWARD opening ramp, OUTWARD opening clamshells.
C-17 OUTWARD opening ramp, and I think, OUTWARD opening clamshells.
