So Boeing is going to build a Soviet plane which is a clone of a Boeing cargo plane entry from the 70's? I present to you, the Boeing YC-14 on display at the Pima AZ Air Museum

Here's a bigger version of your picture. The YC-14 was an experimental plane build for a competition for what became the C-17. McDonnel Douglas won with their YC-15 prototype. The YC-14 was a much bigger plane than the An-72.

So boeing does not have to pay someone some royalty by using the espianoge based design of the soviets.

something is not right here.
