The Ilyushin Il-76 (NATO reporting name: "Candid") is a 4-engined strategic airlifter in widespread use in eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. The aircraft was first conceived by Ilyushin in 1967 to meet a requirement for a freighter able to carry a payload of 40 tons (88,000 lb) over a range of 5,000 km (2,700 nautical miles (3,100 statute miles;) in less than six hours, able to operate from short and unprepared airstrips, and capable of coping with the worst weather conditions likely to be experienced in Siberia and the Soviet Union's arctic regions. The basic layout of the plane was similar to the U.S.-built Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, but the new design had a larger cargo hold area and more powerful engines to achieve the desired performance. It first flew on March 25, 1971, and is still in production in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

It is the C-141ski
why the explosion before the tank with parachute touch the ground?
it looks like a rocket firing to slow the drop.
It slows the rate of decent at impact
Notice (for french speaking people) that the jets which are refueling at 4mn32 are not Mig-23 but SU-24.
