KYIV, Ukraine - Ukrainian officials said the world’s largest plane that was in regular operation has been "destroyed" in fighting with Russian troops, but pledged to rebuild the aircraft.

The An-225 is operated by Ukroboronprom’s subsidiary Antonov Airlines and was parked in a hangar undergoing repairs at Hostomel (or Gostomel) airport, located just northwest of Kyiv, according to a statement. Russia launched an attack against the country on Feb. 24 and claimed to have taken control of the airport, which is also called Antonov International Airport.

"According to the director of Antonov Airlines, one of the engines was dismantled for repairs and the plane wasn’t able to take off that day, although the appropriate commands were given," a statement from Ukroboronprom, Ukraine’s defense industry conglomerate, said on Feb. 27.

"Currently it is impossible to assess the plane’s condition and the possibility and cost of its restoring due the lack of access to the aircraft as the control over the airport is taken by the Russian occupiers," the statement added.

Umm guys I dont know if you know this but when the antonov was first built they planned on making 2 and 1 got completed and the other was halfway done so Antonov AN-225 will last on flying in our skies but first we have to find the aircraft it is claimed to be stocked in an safe hanger at an airport and its missing its wings, tail, engines but the body is resting somewhere

Wow.
Edit: The plane hasn't actually been destroyed if they're considering trying to rebuild it plus they haven't inspected the aircraft yet. There's satellite pictures showing the tail of the plane intact but it could possibly only be the hanger that was partially destroyed and not the plane.
