thanks
can you also tell
how many sorties it can make in one day ? in normal weather ...
if we can put IL78 ( one is there in pic) will serve more purpose ?
whihc is better for mass evaquation IL78 or C-130 or c17?

I can't know how many sorties they make a day that is dependant on a number of factors but the US air lifters will have high sortie rates than their Russian counterparts. And as for which is "better" that is a subjective term, what measure are you using? All I would say is for "mass evacuation" the C-17 is by far the largest so can transport more people/supplies and has a "rough field" capability and can take off/land on shorter airstrips.
