About the Antonov An-32
Land-based air tanker
It loads water or retardant on the ground and attacks from a runway base. It can knock down flames with water or lay a retardant line ahead of the fire to slow its spread and support crews on the ground.
What this type can do
The An-32P Firekiller carries water or retardant in two external tanks beneath its fuselage. This high-wing twin-turboprop reloads on the ground and is built to deliver a substantial drop while operating from hot, high-altitude airfields.
This describes the type’s usual firefighting capability; it does not prove what this aircraft is carrying or doing now.
The Antonov An-32 is a turboprop twin-engined military transport aircraft. Its first flight was in July 1976 and was displayed at the 1977 Paris Air Show. A variant of the An-24, it was given upgraded equipment and more powerful Ivchenko AI-20 engines, and is oriented towards flying in adverse weather conditions. The aircraft was produced from 1980 to 2012, and remains in service. It is the fourth member of the Antonov An-24 family, succeeding the An-24, An-30 and An-26, and coming before the cancelled An-132.
