  • On 28 July 2010, a contracted An-12BP (3X-GEO) landed too late and missed the runway at FOB Dwyer, Afghanistan, crashing through a safety berm. After the crash, U.S military construction workers drained the fuel and then attempted to drag the aircraft to a clearing, but this failed and the plane was torn apart instead.
  • On 19 October 2012, an Air Mark Aviation An-12B (EK12112) bounced and landed hard at Shindand Air Base, Afghanistan, breaking off the left landing gear; the aircraft went off the runway and crashed in a drainage ditch and burned out. The aircraft was contracted by the U.S. military.
  • On 9 August 2013, a Ukraine Air Alliance An-12BK (UR-CAG) was destroyed at Leipzig Airport, Germany, after a fire broke out. The aircraft had been loaded with live chicks and was preparing for takeoff when the fire broke out in the cargo area. The crew was able to escape before the fire completely destroyed the aircraft.[90]
