WORLD'S LARGEST PLANE 'DESTROYED DURING KIEV AIRPORT BATTLE' — REPORTS

ANOTOV AN-225 MRIYA: REPORTS WORLD'S LARGEST PLANE DESTROYED AT HOSTOMEL AIRPORT


By Jody Harrison @jodeharrisonHT Reporter

There are fears the world's largest transport plane has been destroyed during
fighting in Ukraine. 

The Anotov AN-225 Mriya - the only one of its type in the world - was based at
Hostomel airport around an hour's drive from Kiev. 

The airport was attacked by Russian helicopters and paratroopers early this
morning, with a fierce battle currently raging after local forces
counter-attacked later in the day.   




It has been reported that the hanger housing the AN-225 has been damaged in the
fighting, although this is unconfirmed. 

The airport was struck by missiles prior to the attack and has reportedly been
shelled by Ukrainian forces. 





The six-engine Anotov An-225 weighs 314 tonnes and has a wingspan of 88 meters.




The aircraft was used to transfer the Soviet Buran spacecraft and has been
invaluable in tranporting large amounts of humanitarian aid around the world at
short notice during emergencies.

On 11 June 2010, the An-225 carried the world's longest piece of air cargo, two
42.1 m (138 ft) test wind turbine blades from Tianjin, China, to Skrydstrup,
Denmark.
