Soviet-era space shuttle carrier aircraft destroyed in Russian attack on Ukraine

"Currently, until the AN-225 has been inspected by experts, we cannot report on the technical condition of the aircraft," the company wrote.The news followed a string of unconfirmed reports that the Mriya had come under fire by Russian helicopters in an attack against the airport on Friday.

Later, Radio Liberty circulated on social media a photo, possibly taken by a drone, showing a fire rising from a hangar that appeared to match the known location of the AN-225. Aircraft enthusiasts shared marked up versions of the image, labeling what could be the Mriya's engines protruding out from the hangar.

История запомнит.

Things never matter………… Demise of imperishable things like love, purity, and humanity - a colossal disaster

Ouch

Russia is playing with Ukraine 🇺🇦 allowing them to commit suicide as the nerve agents Russia has that can kill 50 million people in EU. NO JOKE PEOPLE.

Oh no!!!

Just another bloody thing to add to the list in this unnecessary war

Sad.

Death of Mriya thanks to Ukraine wanting to join NATO.

Very sad.

Ukraine as part of European Union is able to build new one but much more modern. With European engines.

for THIS alone Russia should fall...

Sad, but still a small thing in a much, much larger ongoing tragedy...🇺🇦

She might be repairable. Stay POSITIVE!
