The world's largest aircraft was destroyed in Ukraine. In the early days of the Russian invasion, the Antonov An-225 "Mriya," the largest aircraft in the world, was destroyed in an attack on the Antonov Airport near the Ukraine capital of Kyiv. The plane, 275-feet-long with a wingspan stretching 290 feet, could also carry 550,000 pounds of cargo, making it also the world's heaviest aircraft. The Ukrainian aerospace and defense company Ukroboronprom confirmed the wreckage on Feb. 27, saying the plane was undergoing repairs at the airport so it didn't have time to flee before the attack. However, the company said it "will definitely be restored." See more images of the wreckage at our link in bio. 📸 Vadim Ghirda, AP
