Il-78 for NATO? An-72 for USAF?

I have found two articles with pretty interesting contents but have to admit that my Russian is a bit hazy. Do I read it correctly that Boeing proposed An-72 for contest within USAF and that some Il-78 Candid is being Westernized to NATO standard?

Looks good in this dark livery, though..
