airsLLide No. 8742: RA-54817, Antonov 2, Aeroflot, Moscow-Myachkovo, May 17, 1993.

The Antonov 2, nicknamed "Annushka" in the former East Bloc, is a hot contender for a top ranking when it comes to numbers produced. Exact figures of the Antonov 2 production run can only be guessed, as it was produced parallely in different locations, and also under license abroad, by PZL Mielec in Poland. It is assumed that more than 18'000 units of the multi-purpose bi-plane were built. It was widely used for agricultural purposes - a.k.a. crop dusting - but also served as 12-seat airliner to remote destinations, as drop-plane for parachuters, as light military transport, as airborne lab for atmospheric sampling or as waterbomber for aerial firefighting.

Russia's ally, Uzbekistan considers acquiring Dassault Rafale fighters

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/24/2023 - 19:00 in Military

The leadership of Uzbekistan would have expressed interest in acquiring 24 Rafale fighters. However, the exact terms and financing modalities remain undisclosed.

This information was disclosed in a publication of the industry-specific French portal, Intelligence Online.

The publication Intelligence Online reported that Uzbekistan formally requested information from France about the potential acquisition of 24 fourth-generation Dassault Rafale multifunctional fighters. The matter would have been discussed during the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to the Republic of Uzbekistan on November 2.

Despite the interest expressed, analysts are skeptical of Uzbekistan's immediate ability to secure Rafale jets. The manufacturer, Dassault Aviation, currently faces a heavy workload due to existing orders from countries such as Qatar, Croatia and Indonesia. In addition, negotiations are underway with Saudi Arabia, further complicating the production schedule.

Due to these restrictions, an alternative solution could involve France's proposal for Dassault Mirage 2000 fighters for Uzbekistan as a viable option.

Uzbekistan has the distinction of being the first country of the former Soviet bloc and, additionally, the second nation to use MiG-29, to express its intention to exchange its military fleet for Rafale jets.

A recent public disclosure revealed that, for the calendar year 2023, Uzbekistan reserved a defense budget equivalent to US$ 1.4 billion. The country's combat aviation fleet includes 12 MiG-29 and MiG-29UB aircraft currently in service, with 18 additional of the same type in storage.

In addition, Uzbekistan stored 26 Su-27 fighters for preservation. The Uzbekistan Air Force also maintains a substantial fleet, consisting of 12 Su-25 attack aircraft and 15 Su-24 bombers stored.
