For worldwide sales are motors and avionics very important and Ukraine´s are not appealing enough.
Antonov transport aircraft An-124 and An-148/158/178 will have modern avionics by Canadian company Esterline CMC Electronics (CMC).

That will for sure rise interest in these rough planes.
The number of types produced by Antonov is wide and the number of produced planes of one type is incredibly low, which is economic nonsense. There is an ongoing afford to change it.
