Which is fine but I don't understand what that has to do with this? I'd expect every country to test and clear an aircraft they've never used before.
Hell countries that buy C-17's probably test and clear them before they drop anyone out of them.
Both aircraft can drop cargo and if the U.S honestly tested the IL-76MF it would clear. They'd likely modify equipment on it but I'm sure it would work just fine. Infact given the eastern european countries in NATO now it wouldn't surprise me if U.S troops have been on an IL-76.
