D-30KP turbofan engine (complete unit and spares)
The D-30KP is the Il-76MD powerplant. Aviadvigatel and UEC-Kuznetsov are Russian. Spares supply is subject to Russian export-control regime and the broader Western sanctions pressure on Russian defence exports post-2022. Strategic risk to Il-76MD fleet availability.
