1. Title: "Ukraine's Ilyushin Il-76MD 78820 at RAF Fairford, 2011" 2. Description: This photograph showcases the powerful and versatile Ilyushin Il-76MD military transport aircraft, registration number 78820 (msn 0093496907), of the Ukrainian Air Force, as it sits majestically on the tarmac of RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, England, on July 16, 2011. The Il-76MD, a variant of the Ilyushin Il-76 family of heavy-lift transport aircraft, is renowned for its ability to carry large payloads and operate from unpaved runways, making it an invaluable asset for military and humanitarian missions. 3. Background: The Ilyushin Il-76MD is a four-engine, turbofan-powered aircraft that was designed and manufactured by the Soviet Union's Ilyushin Design Bureau. It was first introduced in 1978 and has since become a staple in the military aviation fleets of numerous countries, including Ukraine. The Ukrainian Air Force's Il-76MD 78820, seen here, underwent maintenance and upgrades at RAF Fairford during the summer of 2011. 4. Technical Details: The Il-76MD is capable of carrying up to 45,000 kg (99,200 lb) of cargo or 226 passengers, depending on the configuration. It is powered by four Soloviev D-30KP turbofan engines, which provide a maximum takeoff thrust of 13,800 kgf (30,450 lbf) each. The aircraft has a maximum speed of 850 km/h (528 mph) and a range of 4,500 km (2,800 miles). 5. Significance: The presence of the Ukrainian Il-76MD at RAF Fairford in 2011 underscores the importance of this strategic airbase as a hub for military aircraft from around the world. RAF Fairford has been used for various military operations, including humanitarian missions and the deployment of troops and supplies. The Il-76MD's visit to the base highlights the collaborative efforts between military forces and the crucial role that transport aircraft play in global security and disaster response.
