Considering the proposed civilian BC-17 was too expensive and had too short a range, and the C-5 tooling has been destroyed, Antonov should have the oversized cargo roll on -roll off market to itself.

Yeah, the only other out sized cargo aircraft are the A300-600ST and the soon to be 747LCF. The Air Force isn't going to rent out C-5's and no one wanted the BC-17 due to the cost but also because the deal was that the Air Force could appropriate the aircraft if necessary.
