The Antonov/Taqnia An-132 was an improved version of the Antonov An-32 twin-engined turboprop military transport aircraft that was under development jointly by Saudi Arabia and Ukraine.[2][3] The project was suspended in April 2019 following the withdrawal of Saudi support, and the cancellation of orders from the launch customer RSAF. Subsequently the AN-132D prototype, the only one completed, was heavily damaged in the Battle of Antonov Airport in February, 2022. Since then there has been no further update on the project from Antonov. [4][5]
