MRIYA : THE DEVASTATED DREAM

 ANTONOV AN-225 (MRIYA)


    ANTONOV AN 225  Mriya,means in  Ukrainian for “the dream”, was the world's largest cargo aircraft. It was formally known as Cossack, its North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) operating code. The aircraft was originally developed for the transportation of the Buran shuttle orbiter and the Energia rocket.




MRIYA DESTROYED 


The story so far: The Ukrainian government announced on Sunday that Antonov An-225 or Mriya, the biggest aeroplane in the world, was destroyed by Russian forces on an airfield near Kyiv. Fighting continued in Ukraine for the fifth day after Russian President Vladimir Putin had announced a military operation in the neighbouring country on February 24, 2022.

Mriya was housed at the Antonov International Airport near Hostomel, northwest of capital city Kyiv where it was destroyed during an attack. The aircraft was under repair when Russia invaded Ukraine and hence it did not have the time to leave the country.
