The '''Ilyushin Il-276 ''' ('''SVTS''') ({{lang-ru|Средний военно-транспортный самолет [СВТС]}}) is a medium-[[airlift]] [[military transport aircraft]] currently being developed by initially [[United Aircraft Corporation]] (UAC). It is designed to perform regular transport duties and also to deploy up to 150 paratrooper soldiers or up to 20 tons of cargo. According to the Russian press, the Il-276 is expected to begin flight testing in 2023 and deliver the first units in 2026. Ilyushin intends to achieve an annual production rate of 12 units by 2029.<ref>https://www.airway1.com/russia-approves-production-of-new-military-freighter-il-276/</ref>

It was initially planned to be built by the [[United Aircraft Corporation]] (UAC) of [[Russia]], and [[Hindustan Aeronautics|Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)]] of [[India]].<ref>[http://www.irkut.com/en/services/research/irta/ "Tactical Transport Aircraft"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110930090658/http://www.irkut.com/en/services/research/irta/ |date=30 September 2011 }}.

In January 2016 it was announced that the India's HAL would no longer be involved in the project and that Russia was proceeding with the project alone.

==Design and development==
In October 2009, former [[Minister of Defence (India)|Indian Defence Minister]] [[A. K. Antony]] made an official visit to Russia, during which the two countries formally incorporated the joint venture. The governments of Russia and India agreed to produce the aircraft for their respective armed forces and for friendly third-party countries, and to develop a [[Civil aviation|civilian]] variant of the MTA in the form of a 100-seater passenger airplane, for which Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) – owned by the Indian government – will be the lead partner and principal integrator. The Indian portion of the MTA's serial production would take place at HAL's Transport Aircraft Division in [[Kanpur]].<ref>[http://livefist.blogspot.com/2009/08/uac-hals-multirole-transport-aircraft.html "UAC-HAL's Multirole Transport Aircraft JV To Be Incorporated Next Month"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090910205613/http://livefist.blogspot.com/2009/08/uac-hals-multirole-transport-aircraft.html |date=10 September 2009 }}. LiveFist at Blogspot.com. 30 August 2009. Retrieved 5 December 2011.</ref>

India and Russia finalised arrangements to support the MTA's development with a contribution of US$300.35 million. Russia's United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and India's HAL will set up a subsidiary company to develop the aircraft. The new company, supported by US$600.7 million in funding, will begin work on developing the MTA immediately. HAL Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Ashok Nayak confirmed that India would acquire 45 aircraft and Russia 105. There would, however, be scope for exporting the aircraft, both for civil and military use, and more MTAs could be manufactured.<ref>[http://www.indiastrategic.in/topstories716.htm "India, Russia finalize transport aircraft project"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100912005756/http://www.indiastrategic.in/topstories716.htm |date=12 September 2010 }}.

On 13 January 2016, Russian state media reported that Ilyushin had "frozen" the Russian-Indian project, and that Russia would assume full responsibility for detailed design and production of the aircraft.<ref name=Frozen>{{Cite journal|last=Jennings|first=Gareth|title=Russia 'freezes' India out of MTA project, to proceed alone as Il-214|journal=Jane's Defence Weekly|volume=53|issue=10|date=13 January 2016|issn=0265-3818}}</ref><ref name="Karnozov">{{cite web|url=http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2016-04-11/india-out-russia-continues-developing-il-214-transport|title=India Is Out, But Russia Continues Developing Il-214 Transport|last=Karnozov|first=Vladimir|date=11 April 2016|work=AINonline|access-date=25 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170312033723/http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2016-04-11/india-out-russia-continues-developing-il-214-transport|archive-date=12 March 2017|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

In October 2017, Russian [[newspaper]] [[Izvestia]] reported that in June 2017 the aircraft received new official name Il-276. Earlier in the Russian media the project MTA-SVTS was called Il-214. It was also reported that at the present the military department is in talks with Russian aircraft builders about timing of the program and creating the Il-276. It's already certain that Russia will need no less than 55 units of this aircraft.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://iz.ru/660576/aleksei-ramm-nikolai-surkov/il-276-idet-v-voiska |title=Ил-276 ждут в армии |publisher=iz.ru |date=20 October 2017 |access-date=21 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171021111640/https://iz.ru/660576/aleksei-ramm-nikolai-surkov/il-276-idet-v-voiska |archive-date=21 October 2017 |url-status=live |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

In June 2020, The Russian Ministry of Defense officially announced the selection of the Ilyushin Il-276 as the new medium-sized military transport aircraft.<ref>https://www.airway1.com/russia-approves-production-of-new-military-freighter-il-276/</ref>
