Okay then. This new Italian LHD will be:
Length: 200 m (650 ft.)
Speed: 25 knots
Compliment: 1000 (700 of which can be troops)
The current Italian San Giorgio LPDs are:
Length: 135 m (436 ft.)
Speed: 21 knots
Compliment: 530 (Of which 350 can be troops)
Since the current San Giorgio displace 7,650 tons, I expect this new vessel to displace something on the order of 14,000 or more tons.
We shall see.

Antonov An-178 and An-188 the future, competition in the Ukrainian military transport
(Defensa.com) The tactical transport aircraft Antonov An178 is the proposal to replace more outdated aircraft such as the An-12, An-26 and An-32 and it may be considered a viable competitor in the international market, love of a potential adversary commercial for other platforms like the Embraer KC-390, the Ilyushin Il-214, and even C-295 C-27 J Spartan or the Hercules C-130J.
Its carrying capacity stands at 18 tons, which can carry 1,000 kilometers; or 10 tons that can project over 4,000 kilometers. Certainly it is a new concept apparatus provided with a wing area and tail T. Built with aluminum alloy composite materials, has the semi-monocoque fuselage with circular cross section. The powerful retractable landing gear, set a simple structure tricycle through the two rear sets and the front beneath the cockpit.
The power plant consists of two D-436-148FM turbofan engines mounted on respective underwing pylons; plus an auxiliary power unit that provides autonomous operation when the aircraft is on the ground. The cargo hold has a capacity of 125 cubic meters and is 16.6 meters, including the rear cargo ramp and a width is 2.74 meters. The outer size of the apparatus is 28.8 meters, with a length of 32.95 and 10.14 meters height. Among other operating requirements, the aircraft needs a runway of 2.5 kilometers to operate and maneuver.
The future An-188
During the last Paris Air Show, the Ukrainian company has revealed plans for the development of a strategic transport plane An-188 called. Actually, it would be a four-engine, powered by four jet engines and high load capacity. This aircraft can present as a potential alternative to the An-70 and the Airbus A-400M. Its maximum takeoff weight would stand at 140 tons, with a loading capacity of around 40 tonnes. Also it could operate on unpaved runways and runway length required for landing and take off would be 915 meters. The apparatus would incorporate anionic and Western engines.

Helicopters Airbus teams up with Indian Mahindra Group to produce military helicopters
(Defensa.com) Helicopters Airbus has joined with a subsidiary of Mahindra Group (Mahindra Defence) to produce helicopters to meet military requirements in India. The size of both companies-the Asian group invoice 16,900 million annually, with 220,000 employees in hundreds of countries-will ensure a strong association to present the best solutions for rotary wing aircraft for China and expand local manufacturing capabilities, as part of its ambition Make in India.
They have begun discussions for the creation of a joint venture to act as prime contractor on the military contests in India, including those of reconnaissance and surveillance helicopters and utility and multirole naval. It has dedicated companies to meet the needs of the three armed forces, with products ranging from armored vehicles, equipment underwater warfare, radar and surveillance systems.
Mahindra Defence has extensive experience in engineering, automotive and fixed wing and has made substantial investments in the manufacture of aircraft components and Airbus Helicopters will build in India the next generation of helicopters, which not only respond to the needs of export of such nation, but it will have export potential in the future, being the first manufacturer of this type of aircraft within the Make in India initiative.
This will create hundreds of jobs for highly qualified and provide a flow of advanced technologies to the country if elected in quizzes. Mahindra Aerospace has ventured into the field of commercial aircraft in Australia and aerostructures manufacturing since 2008, currently producing the Airvan 8 certified on 38 country, with over 200 aircraft in service, and is developing a 10-seat turboprop, the Airvan 10 whose approval is expected this year.
