Recently, the military personnel at Thetonov airport have been evacuated, and the An-225 aircraft Antonov returned to the airport to visit the destroyed An-225. According to the video it shot, the An-225 aircraft has been blown up to the point of devastation, the nose and fuselage parts are completely split, the right wing is completely burned, and the entire aircraft is completely scrapped.
In the Russo-Ukrainian War, Ukraine's Antonov airport was also tragically baptized by war, and the An-225 transport aircraft parked in it, the world's largest transport aircraft, was also destroyed.
Now in addition to one An-225 destroyed, another An-124 and An-28 were damaged. Previously, Antonov had said that it would spend more than $3 billion and more than 5 years to repair the damaged An-225, but from the actual damage, it is unlikely that Ukraine will rebuild the An-225, and it is good to repair the damaged An-124.
The An-225 is also the crystallization of the aviation wisdom of the former Soviet Union and human beings, fully drawing on the research and development results of the An-124 strategic transport aircraft, the two aircraft engines are the same, and the An-225 is just two more. There is still an Unassembled An-225 in Ukraine, whose status is unknown.
Some netizens said that this plane also flew to Tianjin Binhai Airport not long ago to pull epidemic prevention materials! Even if this thing is placed where it is placed, it is very symbolic, alas, pity, pity! If you can provide a full set of drawings, I believe we will be able to build it!
Check the wings and engines, no problem to pick up another An-225, and see if two can fight another one? It's just that the possibility of this An-225 assembly completed to continue the destruction of the An-225 splendor does not seem too great. It is a pity that the pinnacle of the human industrial age was thus destroyed by war. I believe that there should be no similar industrial products for a long time in the future.
But some argue that this is nothing more than a product of an era. This aircraft was developed specifically for transporting space shuttles, although the largest, but not the most advanced, the engine power is not enough. Usually, the transport aircraft will not be designed to be so large, because the large size means that the requirements for the runway are high, and there are not many airports that can land. Now the strongest engine in the United States, two can have the power of these six. Therefore, this aircraft is not advanced!
