As a russian im so mad to soldiers who destroyed the antonov which creation of our ancestor!🙅

[jeffouellette]

I saw this airplane some years back at an air show in Oklahoma City. I looked it up and there's only one in existence. I can't tell you what year it was but it was a good long while ago. I went back and I googled it on the internet this thing went through Oklahoma City in 1990. I was 15 years old. Wow. And I'm wanting to say that I googled it not long ago and there was only one in existence.

*World's full of GREED, who's guilty ? maybe no one maybe everyone.*

[vlad]

There is still the possibility that it was the second, unfinished An-225, which was stored there since 1990

I saw this plane in Houston Texas. Truly impressive.

I am so sad to hear this news about the AN-225 being Destroyed. It was an Aviation Marvel in the whole world and now it's Gone. Farewell Mriya! We will Miss you!

I haven’t even put my pandemic stuff away and now I have to get my nuclear ☢️ survival kit out ……
What a time to be alive……

[mattamuskeet]

What a shame! Obviously no comparison to loss of life, but such a waste. So much needless destruction with war that accomplishes nothing but to satisfy a tyrannical manchilds ego.

There were things that ONLY that plane could do as far as cargo weight. Large industrial equipment, etc. Search for "Antonov 225 documentary". It shows this plane hauling something that no other plane in the world could have gotten off the ground

A sad day in aviation. We don't yet know the full extent, but to many aviators around the world it would feel like a loss.

[Ranveer_sangha]

one of the big beautiful bird sorry for loss

[shawnalexander]

I had the pleasure of seeing this take off from Trinidad and Tobago

[slipperybeastaviationfishingsh]

For my Aviation inthusiast. This was a sad day for us. What a waist of brilliant machinery.

[UaAwesome]

I've heard about the destruction of the plane a few days ago, it was at the beginning of the invasion when they bombed military bases, where the antonov was stored.

[seventhuser]

That Plane was Soviet made and after the USSR collapse Ukrainians took away the credit of that. Engineers from Soviet Russia were hugely responsible in making that plane along with Ukrainians and Kazakhs.

This war snatched medal of super power

I have seen this plane in Mumbai 2019, what a great piece of engineering it was.
