There have been allegations that the world’s largest aeroplane has been destroyed in the midst of the Ukrainian crisis.
However, no formal confirmation has been given in this regard. The Antonov An-225, billed as the world’s largest airliner, was last seen at Hostomel Airport (GML).
An aeroplane with the registration number UR-82060 has been at Hostomel Airport since its previous landing on February 5, 2022, according to recent flight data.
The plane is famous for its massive size. Three jet engines are mounted on each wing, and the plane has more wheels than a typical plane. According to unsubstantiated sources, the engineering marvel Antonov An-225, popularly known as Mryia, may have been destroyed during the Ukraine conflict.
An air assault operation was initiated at Hostomel Airport, the last landing spot for Antonov An-225, according to viral videos on Twitter.
Huge screens of black smoke can be seen rising from the earth in the footage.
Another video taken from a different perspective shows helicopters moving towards Hostomel Airport.
Because the airport is only 25 kilometres from Kyiv, some believe Russian soldiers would use it to transport heavy equipment into the country near its capital.
However, the report has not been confirmed, and formal confirmation is still pending.
