During Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the world’s largest plane was destroyed. Russia and Ukraine have been arguing for weeks, and Russia just recently attacked. The aircraft’s name is the Antonov An-225, and it is also called “Mriya”, which is Ukrainian for “dream”. When it was destroyed, it was parked near an airport near Kyiv, Ukraine, which is the capital. It has not been confirmed yet by others that the plane was actually destroyed. The Ukraine state defense company has said that the aircraft will be rebuilt, which is estimated to be around $3 billion. The state defense said their goal is to make Russia pay for reconstruction. The Antonov aircraft has been working for 30 years, and it is still the heaviest aircraft ever built.
