Kyiv: Russian soldiers have destroyed the largest aircraft in the world, the Antonov AN-225 Mriya, Ukraine has said.
‘Mriya’ is Ukrainian for ‘Dream’.
Ukrainian defence agency Ukroboronprom said the aircraft was destroyed at Hostomel Airport outside Kyiv in Russian shelling.
Antonov Airlines, a unit of Antonov, operated the Mriya, the only AN-225 in the world.
Ukraine’s official Twitter handle posted a picture of the AN-225, saying “They burned the biggest plane but our Mriya will never perish.”
Antonov tweeted that “until the AN-225 is inspected by experts, we cannot report on the technical condition of the aircraft. Wait until the next official announcement.”
