Uzbek Stamps
Uzbekistan is a country in Central Asia bordered by Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan. The country has 40 million people.
One of the biggest jobs in Uzbekistan is Uranium. Uranium is made of 92 protons and electrons. It is very dangerous and poisonous. It is used as electricity and it is in bombs.
Uzbekistan used to be part of the Soviet Union until 1991 when Uzbekistan was presented to be independent.
Antonov An-22 "Antei
The Antonov An-22 "Antei" is a heavy military transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Powered by four turboprop engines each driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers, the design was the first Soviet wide-body aircraft and remains the world's largest turboprop-powered aircraft to date. An-22 first appeared for public outside the Soviet Union at the 1965 Paris Air Show. Since then, the model saw extensive use in major military and humanitarian airlifts of the Soviet Union.

Ilyushin Il-114
The Ilyushin Il-114 is a Russian twin-engine turboprop airliner designed for local routes. In the Antonov An-24 class, it first flew in 1990. Altogether, 20 Il-114s have been built.[3]
Production of the Il-114 has been terminated in July 2012, with the sixth and last aircraft delivered to Uzbekistan Airlines on 24 May 2013. The decision to end production adheres to the Uzbek government's decision to convert the Tashkent factory to other production lines (namely structural units, household purpose products, spare parts for cars and agricultural equipment), despite Russian interest in keeping the production line and a reportedly high demand prospect for the aircraft. This has translated in an October 2013 announcement by a plant representative, that production is to be resumed after the factory solved financial matters and also due to the interest of a "Russian party".[4][5]
