[@Zamolxes77]

Question: why is so urgent to ship a metro car by air instead of waiting 2 weeks for it to arrive by boat ? The entire transportation network of Delhi hinges on one sub car ???

[@gerald6919]

Zamolxes77 you have taken words out of mind. You could of ship 100 trains to India whole lot cheaper if Indians are willing to wait maybe month for ship to get there.

[@sektor1435]

exactly what I was thinking when I saw a single car being pulled out.

[@TheNemocharlie]

Answer: It's got to deliver that Metro train from Germany to Delhi. There are very few ships that will accomodate trains and the port facilities may be limited. It's not possible to use the rail network because the infrastructure won't accommodate it. Even if it could, it would be extremely expensive. A look on any map will show why it can't go by road. This is the only way. Incidentally, I don't know if it still happens, but I believe in the UK new trains were being delivered by road because it was cheaper than rail. I certainly remember the wretched lorries because they held traffic up where ever they went. The decision to do this was made by accountants. Much as I love our bean counting friends, many are male which means they are 4x more likely to be autistic, and this is a profession where you work with numbers, not people, and so on average there will be more accountants who are higher up the spectrum than in selling, for instance, or any other customer facing job. All this means they are incapable of taking into account the reputational damage that their decision to go cheap brings with it. I do have a problem with the profession. An accountant has never invented anything, manufactured anything, sold anything or maintained it. Yet they have a stranglehold on most companies decision making. Why? Most likely because many organisations have as their principle objective "maximising shareholder value", a policy which is like killing the golden goose, slowly and painfully over time. Rant over. My work here is done, but I do intend to find out exactly why these trains can't be sent by sea. Richard Finneman wrote a book called "The joy of finding things out" (or similar) and if it's good enough for him, it's well good enough for me.

[@TheNemocharlie]

@@gerald6919 It also occurs that they should be manufacturing them in India. You'd have thought they might have better facilities and expertise with their long experience of rail travel. It occurs that previously they had to import from the UK at a time before the aeroplane was invented. Who knows?

[@NCC651]

Not too sure about this case, but for Malaysia in 2020, Bombardier (now Alstom) shipped one trainset of 4 carriages using the Antonov 124 because they finished its construction late. So to avoid having lateness penalties, Bombardier decided to ship the train with the 124. Side note: Bombardier was able to send the whole trainset in one go because it was an LRT train, so it was most likely smaller than the train featured here, AND they put two cars side by side.

“It’S tHe An-225 yOu DuNcEs!” The An-225 is both shown alongside the An-124 in stock footage and mentioned at the end. The AN-225 was grounded when this was made. Big Bigger Biggest oversimplifies at times. The Scaled Composites Stratolaunch, first flying in 2018, exceeds the An-225’s wingspan, and was designed as a mothership aircraft.

[@paleoph6168]

Exactly, the documentary states the inability to feature the 225 due to it being grounded. Why can't people stop complaining?

[@H10-i5i]

@@paleoph6168 Probably because people are stupid.

[@paulhunter1735]

I don't count the Stratolaunch as being the biggest plane in the world like a lot of people do. It's not a plane.....it's two aircraft stuck together with wing sections connecting them. Hell it's not hard to look at it and see that. Just like back when they made the twin mustang they literally said they stuck two mutangs together with a common wing to get more range out of it. They literally stuck two planes together to make the Stratolaunch together in the same way just to use it as a lifting platform so i don't count it as a single plane no matter how people try to argue it. To each their own though.

[@russiaandtheworld1597]

Well, firstly, this is not a one-time thing, the documentation remains, secondly, it is the experience and technology that remained in Russia, and thirdly, the An335 was not created to transport Buran, this was carried out by a strategic aircraft without any problems. An 225 was created as a space launch pad for both the Buran shuttle and the MAX System and the Molniya shuttle

[@Coyote27981]

yes the basis is the same, supersized (longer hull, more wheels on the landing gear, and an extra wing section). but yeah sure the building blocks are the same, just more of them. but since 224 is the supersized version, its size and capacity makes it the biggest.

[@craftytips605]

45:51 to 46:30 they do have a second Antonov 225 in a hanger which is 65% complete also if they can turn it on Antonov 124 into the Antonov 225 once why can’t they do it again only this time better and more quickly? After all all they need to do is take the wings off the Antonov 124 and attach it to the shell on the brand new Antonov 226 which I will now call it from here on out same goes for the nose, as for the vertical stabiliser that is the only thing that will be more tricky because they haven’t built a tail like that for a plane that large in like what over 30 years?

[@AaronChislett]

This is incorrect. The Antonov 225 is the biggest aircraft in the world.

[@anti_nana4463]

+Aaron Chislett Did you watch the entire video smart ass?

[@anti_nana4463]

No, ok look, the Antonov 124 and 225 are the same plane. The plane was refitted to carry the space shuttle and then after that it was taken down and made back into the Antonov 124 thus them saying the Antonov 124 is the largest cargo plane in the world at the time. After this they went on to fully build a stand alone Antonov 225. NOW it is the largest in the world but back then it wasn't.

The American shuttle was bigger and was carried on the top of a converted 747 which is smaller than the 124 and carried it just fine. They could have just converted a 124 to do the job but they chose to do what the Soviet Union always tried to do......make something much bigger whether it needed to be that big to just show off what they could do. Now with that said the Mriya 225 was one hell of an aircraft but it didn't have to be built to move their smaller shuttle lol.
