AN-32 is a development of the AN-26 and differs from it in high power engines and altitude. It is designed for use with high-altitude airports and in hot climates. AI-20D engines are raised above the wing, and flows from the propeller, blowing the upper part of the wing, improve its characteristics runways.

Work on the aircraft began in the mid-1970s. Flight tests of the An-32 began in 1976 city, and Adopting dates from 1982 g. Airframe is generally similar to the An-26, but compared with the design strengthened him. To provide the necessary stability due to changes in the alignment area was increased horizontal tail, and ventral crests. Dimensions of cargo cabin remained virtually unchanged. The aircraft can carry 50 soldiers with full arms or 42 parachutist. An embodiment Fire-32P is able to reset the fire site 8 tons of water or extinguishing mixture.
