Plant 410 Civil Aviation to refurbish An-32 transports for Bangladesh

[The Ronin]

Refurbishment and upgrading work on three Bangladeshi Air Force An-32 transport aircraft in Ukraine is due to begin in 2022.
SE “Plant 410 Civil Aviation”, an aircraft repair firm affiliated with the State-owned Ukroboronprom defense industries conglomerate has reported it had received the contract for this work from FLITE SERVICES FZE of Bangladesh, Defense Express online media outlet informs.

The contract was signed in a ceremony at Plant 410 CA on Monday, March 22 by Oleksandr Pashchenko, CEO of Plant 410 CA and Mr Mahbub Alama, head of FLITE SERVICES FZE.

As noted, the contract terms stipulate that Plant 410 CA would “do major repair, life extension and upgrading on three An-32B airplanes operated by the Republic of Bangladesh,” according to a press statement released by Plant 410 CA.
“The said airplanes are due to arrive at Plant 410 CA in 2022, but preparatory work for the contract will get underway already in the near-term,” the statement says.

The Bangladeshi Air Force currently has three in-service An-32A(B) transport aircraft, carrying tail numbers S3-ACB, S3-ACA, and S3-ACD, respectively, and it's not the first time they will undergo repair and overhaul at Plant 410 CA.

As reported, three An-32Bs (tail numbers SCM-860, SCM-869, and SCM-863) operated by the Republic of Sri Lanka Air Force arrived for repairs at Plant 410 CA in August 2020, and the fourth is anticipated to arrive soon.

Beside this, a Bulgarian Air Force An-30 aerial surveillance and cartography aircraft (tail number 055) arrived for overhaul repairs at Plant 410 CA in late January.

Overall, as at the end of January 2021, 8 transport aircraft, including one Antonov An-26 in the Ukrainian Navy service, had been undergoing refurbishment at Plant 410 CA.

Just another foreigner. No harassment, no racism. No one fucked with me yet... but I’ve heard indians getting mugged and stabbed, some even evicted from homes (Indians and Africans) I once had a man ask me if I’m from syria, I told him I’m too black to be Syrian (I’m olive skinned, not too dark or fair... biscuits basically)
City people are used to seeing foreigners, rural population will stare at you, maybe curiously. But no one is hostile

Syrians also have heterogenous skin tone. Some are as white as Europeans while some are as brown as a typical Bangladeshi.

Nah, Syrians can be as white as Europeans but not as brown as Bangladeshis. You will find brown and dark like Bangladeshis in the gulf region, plenty of them but not in Syria and Lebanon.

True yes. I said it as a joke since all my life I’ve not met a single Syrian with same skin tone as me all European looking

Brown as Bangladesh depends on what level of brown you’re talking about I’ve seen a few dark brown Syrians and they basically lived in rural lands out in the sun all the time. But there’s the lighter olive skin varieties too but I reckon they’re minorities since I’ve only seen two such Syrians. Egyptians are closer in tone to us. But they do have whiter tones too just not as much as Syrians

Some Middle Easterners have French blood because those countries used to be French colonies. More in the Maghreb (North Africa) and Lebanon than other places.

Plenty of inter-marriages between younger educated Bangladeshi guys and Middle Eastern women in the US (ones who grew up here). The Muslim background definitely helps.

I'm intrigued by the fact that you live in Ukraine.

Share some pics sometime of your every day sights.

Also, how are the women in Ukraine?

Also, I hope they keep the current camo on the AN-32.
