PeacePuma 569 Posted February 28, 2022 The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmitro Kuleba, has just announced through his Twitter account on February 27, 2022, that the largest aircraft in the world, the Antonov An-225 Mriya (Dream), was destroyed by the Russians, which is a large commission for what this plane represented, the only one manufactured and currently used by Antonov Airlines. The plane was at its base of operations at Hostomel Airport, a terminal that has been the center of attacks by Russian forces since day one. Ukraine has defended this important and logistical airport without success so far. The condition of the plane and how it turned out is unknown, but this will undoubtedly be one of the saddest news in the history of modern aviation. According to the BBC, the plane was scheduled to leave on February 24, but the flights were blocked. "It lasted three days until it was destroyed," the source said. The plane has been burned and it is estimated that it will take more than five years to recover it, at a cost of 3,000 million dollars. "We want the Russian Federation to pay for it," Yurii Gusev, director of the Ukrainian state-owned infrastructure and transport company Ukroboronprom, said. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
