Antonov An-225 - The World's Largest Aircraft | Full Documentary 

Yeah

Indeed. Just unreal…

well it just join arecibo telescope fate

is it for certain that she is damaged or destroyed ?

@@ivankojnok815 its been confirmed destroyed. Theres a image in youtube news which show its signature 6 engines still intact but its fuselage completely destroyed.

Rest in pieces........

Yes mriya you will have a speacial place in our heart rest in piece

@@pre-dawnraid9037 lol

Its a very sad moments

New satellite images of Hostomel shows that the roof in front of the hangar is heavily damaged, but that the tail of the 225 is still intact. I am going to assume that the rest of the plane is heavily damaged, but by the looks of it it has not (yet) been burned to the ground as previously claimed. So who knows... Maybe there is still a chance it can be repaired despite that being completely uneconomical

Learn to finish reading before making a statement. Rest in peace what? You talk about the unfinished Mriya? Because the one that is on this video is completely alright and remains outside Ukraine right now

@@BurbonUFA only one was ever built and it was all over the news in pieces and you say this LOL Learn to do your research before trying to correct someone else.

@@BurbonUFA lmao the completely built one was destroyed, in case you haven't seen up-to-date pictures yet. Unfinished one may have been destroyed as well. Not confirmed, but the place where it's at was videoed on fire.

@@BurbonUFA How about you learn to read before saying it to other you hypocrite. The plane in this video is the plane that got destroyed. Educate yourself

@@BurbonUFA look, i get it, we were all in denial at first, but eventually you to will see the images of this exact plane destroyed in its hangar

@@BurbonUFA Yes, we're all sad

Let’s hope they use the 2nd airframe and the plane will be able to save more lives

@Jo Mamma because there is nothing like it or to compare it to. On so many levels. As the documetary stated: the amount of world records this plane broke and holds are staggering. If you're not happy with the term "King", then we can call it the Champion of Aviation :)

Only if you fix it every now and then

Fact check: Antonov An-225, first produced 1985 (35 years ago). First test flight December 1988 (32 years ago). Even though it may eventually rule aviation for 40 years or more, it has been flying for 32 years.

Maria would be a Queen

@woo.nobodys.gives.a.shit

Wow, hats off to you sir and thank you for your service.

Yes, destroyed. But the half-finished version. The REAL one (working one) - still working on Antonov Delivery. They even maid tweets about that. So, kinda funny - then the "Military man" believe all BS, and FAKE NEWS which MSM delivered to him. I was in Army - and EVEN I KNOW, how is media is lying (even about my own operations). So, you srsly - that dumb, to believe fake news in times of war?!

No!!! Terrible news. She was a miracle of flight.

@@shannongreene1796 She (More like - THEY) alive - yes, one was destroyed. But other - are alive and well. Even new news from ukraine - stated that as well, as if you don't believe me - as russophobic racist you are. There was 3 half-finished planes - yes, one got destroyed. Other two - alive and well. And even Real working plane - is working and flying too right now. So stfu and don't panic - with An-255 Mriya - all things are okay. Stop panicking, as racist liberal you are.

how was it destroyed?

@@Gardis72 early stages of the ukraine conflict

Lol, same here :)))

no it's not

@@PretentiousStuff the plane was built in 1988 i dont get why it shouldnt be

@@PretentiousStuff to get a plane this big and heavy off the ground is an achievement in itself, so yes I think it is a engendering masterpiece

@@Excepticus the plane was built by Russian for space program and was supposed to perform only one main task - to carry Russian Space Shuttle named 'Buran' on its back. Therefore, there are two huge humps on top the wing, the mounting points for the Space Shuttle. The Russians refused the shuttle, as well as the Americans, and this aircraft is too bad for other tasks, so it is used very rarely. But still a great achievement.

@@Alexander-AAA it may be used more rarely but it was actually necessary on some missions due to no other plane having enough space

Putin is a war crminal and will pay the price in the end.

it's not fully blown off FFS! It can be repaired and it will fly again! That same Mriya!

@@The-Celestial The front half of the plane and a bit of its right side is pretty much gone. With the war going on, I heavily doubt they'll have time to rebuild her. If so, not anytime soon.

@@orcinusapple7343 i believe there is still another one in the making but yet to be finished due to financial problems which is not damaged as far as we know..

@@w.ietse_h7443 unfinished one may be destroyed, although no confirmation yet as far as I know. The place where it’s at was videoed up in flames so who knows.

If the USSR was around today I can only imagine the stuff they would come up with. makes you wonder. so much talent wasted.

@@REPOMAN24722 They were crazy with their designs, like the Buran+Energia, the ekranoplane, the tsar bomba, the an-225. But the finished products were often patchy, delayed, inefficient and not that useful. Crazy engineering was mostly for propaganda, not something market driven with a real use case.

@@johnny_eth Sometimes yes sometimes no, the Buran was superior to the space shuttle their space stations were ahead of the competition, but the tu-144 was a disaster.

@@johnny_eth 3:34 the Antonov An-225 was built with a purpose in mind, and not for propaganda

And all that during the pre-computer era.

he seems really humble ngl

I have no reason to doubt that, but you should consider, that he is aware that he is being filmed, and his bosses are propably going to watch it. That fancy new toolkit is nothing compared to the cost of even one hour of one crane. also his crew was surprised about the new tools, so it doesn't seem to happen too often.

@@gehtdianschasau8372 I was thinking the exact same thing

Yeah I’ve always wanted to go see it take off or just to see it in person to really know the size compared to imagining it in my head

It has 32 freaking wheels

If it can the Ukrainians will get it flying even if needs funding outside of Ukraine due to its unique reason. 👌

@@AmericaVoice that plane was not built by Ukrainians, but was built by Soviet Union. Only as a part of bigger country Ukraine will achieve economic power and competencies it had in Soviet times. I hope time is coming for that.

And to think, they were once our BITTEREST ENEMIES...just look at them (and the rest of the Russian/Ukrainian people)...they just want to live their lives and enjoy themselves like the rest of us do. Thank God saner heads prevailed and war never broke out between us. The Russians and Ukrainians (and many of the other former Soviet people) are just wonderful people. Why the HELL our governments (the IMBECILES that they are) can't get along, STILL, is just beyond me.

All managers like to do stuff when there's cameras or higher-ups around...

@@paxmowa don't talk bollocks

governments?? ~70+% of russian people willingly support war against Ukraine. U can see it from their elections results. They understand everything of what their gov. and mil. do. And, the fact, most of them were ******* proud, when (for example) rus. SOF took administrative buildings in Crimea (watch a lot of vids). Nothing to add. Don't write rubbish.

Glory To The Great Soviet Union! The Soviet was so strong that it took only the Soviet to defeat the Soviet.

That's the reason this flying beast becomes beautiful when they are made with love.

It was made by UKRAINIANS (in Ukraine while it was occupied by Soviet Union)

Don't forget the cable operated flaps, that's make this plane unique imho

@@bagusprihastomo7439 flap operated by cable 🤔hmm strange

In other words, the purpose is to identify the statement as sarcasm in such a way that even a complete moron can't miss.

@@monroemullinix5974 I thought it was out of an idea it's an obvious choice, I'm pretty dumb

Daniel Hernandez Actually it has 32. I was exaggerating. But from a distance it looks like a lot more. I didn’t get to see it land, but I saw it on the ground.

😂 Not many people get the "x green" gag. You must be a fellow airman! Cheers

It would still be three green. You don't count tires but independently moving mechanisms. Or four, I think the front has a double set.

@@rhallnapa i dont want to imagine stress of the rear tire when touchdown, it either has to have deep softer springs to spread weight..... wh what do I know, this thing should not even be able to fly.

@@DrWhom yep.Two front gear.

Dude if you look up air clips on youtube and travel down the picks you'll find a video on this plane and it has lift off and landing its pretty cool.

What else do you ask for ..obviously , theyre focusing on loading/unloading of that huge thing coz the aircraft is a load carrier type of plane .. why are actin like ur not satisfied enough

Was kept secret over many years .

Hey can you guys do a documentary on the Russian Ekronoplans

lisng

The B52 is powered by 8 engines.

Mr guy - you need to watch again and listen.

This plane is massive, it can't land at any traditional run of the mill national Airports, and not even at some international airports It needs very very long runways.

@@longnamedude3947 And a runway that can support that massive weight without damage too

@@Shade_Tree_Mechanic That too, alongside the necessary support in place to tackle any potential incidents, which if one of these things crashed would be a massive fire to deal with. Most airports that handle this thing are used because they are the only airports that can handle it. It's difficult to gauge how big it really is until you see it next to an Airbus A380, and then you see that next to a Sessna or small twin engine Honda private jet. I mean it is so big you can fit a shuttle on top, that is impressive.

you should make your own aircraft.

@@longnamedude3947 The Boeing 747-SP did it YEARS before this one did...and the 747 is quite a bit smaller while the U.S. Space Shuttle was BIGGER than the Soviets' Buran Space Shuttle. The Buran did not have its own main rocket engines, either, whereas the U.S. Shuttle has 3 main rocket engines. Now, don't get me wrong, I am DEFINITELY NOT knocking this amazing machine!! But, credit where it's due!! The 747 is smaller than this and it hauled a bigger space shuttle on its back than this did.

it did

@@SpidaMez unfortunately, its body cant nevermore but soul can

American shows. They make it dramatic even though it's unnecessary.

I hade to stop watching

such exaggeration is so german

You lucky SOB

My friend says this plane usually lands at Bangor, ME airport to refuel. And once it landed at Portsmouth NH Pease airport, which has the longest runway in the States, as far as I know.

Wow, any idea why the 225 lands there so frequently?

I respect that you're religious and that is just fine...but this is a comment section on a documentary about a JET, NOT about God or Allah or Buddha, or Shiva or Zeus. Leave the politics and religion out of the comments unless it's related to the video!

@@iambjcincle3991 I understand where your coming from but it’s like you said, a comment section open to the public. I’m also religious but that doesn’t matter. What matters is we all need to respect each other, we’re lucky we get to even speak of it so let them be them.

@@Leggy_games I just want to make it clear that it has NOTHING to do with the fact that the post was (apparently) Islamic. I feel the same way about ALL religious posts whether it be to God, Yahweh, Allah, Buddha, Sheva. et. al. It comes across as an admonishment to me that the person said something nice about what he saw and then another person pipes in and gives the proverbial slap on the wrist for doing so and then tells him to "do penance" so to speak, by praying. I just don't think it's right to have those kinds of posts in this type of "forum". I have MY beliefs, too, but I don't think it's right to go telling others what to do...and you seem to be the same (you have your beliefs but don't push them on others). Oh, certainly, there most definitely ARE places where it's appropriate and I do enjoy reading and learning from those posts when the topic is ABOUT something to do with religion.
