C17 line is closed, all units sold.
C130J is still open if small. Next American cargo bird won't be till the 2020s
A400M is a option.
Japan might be willing to export C1 although not sure if the active conflicts would make them skittish.
Russia is a no go.
KC390 is a possibility.
China I think is likely out after the missile defense snub and with the whole Russian debacle.
Best bet in my opinion is Ukraine. Antonov is looking for customers they have a number of modern offerings and like Turkey are on Russia's S-List.

My thoughts exactly Turkey and Ukraine are already in talks over the Turkish tank upgrade programme

In the lighter weight class is the AN178, Antonov just partnered with the Saudis (who will joint for 30units). Mature design albeit small.
Heavier is the proposed AN188 based on the AN70 but with 4 turbines as opposed to the coaxial props on the 70.

Could see Turkey being the launch customer and as such they would have more say in the end product.

The Commander of the Turkish Armed Forces, General Hulusi Akar visited the Ada class TCG Büyükada on 29 December 2015.

The photo shows that both Ada class corvettes TCG Heybeliada and TCG Büyükada are stationed in Eastern Mediterranean

This is a high tension area and shows the commitment Turkey has showing two powerful warships in the area visited by the overall commander of the Turkish armed forces
