@@CosmicRider007 Supersonic probably not, would waste a lot of resources for that large scale. That's why we only have seen much smaller aircraft go supersonic, and even the Boom Overture will be smaller than the Concorde. I'm just saying, even though it will be an An-225 replacing it, it still won't be the same as for 33 years, the one that did get destroyed was the only one to exist to make history, and the new one is only being built to replace it. But my hunch is that they're probably going to do some rework at least with newer engines and a glass cockpit.

If the Howard Hughes H4 was more successful to the Antonov 225, it will be an American replacement for this loss. The 225 will always have a soft spot in my heart even though I'm not too much into planes than trains, but this plane is big enough to transport a diesel locomotive, but that will be too heavy to get it in the air.

1. they cant make the antonov do that. 2. Rule of air superiority, make sure NOTHING gets into the air, thats why airports and air bases get destroyed first.

Was a dream to see the an-225 for me I had a feeling this would happen one day, it’s not like anything lasts forever in our world but I hope she will take of soon once again…

Damn... that exact plane came to a small regional airport near me and I got to see it up close. Was a beautiful piece of machinery! Sad day in aviation history.

[@arizonaadventureriders9384]

They could’ve hid that plane in any NATO country, what a shame. Of course it was a target

[@ryantrivett6628]

I heard it was down for repairs or else they would've flown it out

[@juniorfio1196]

It is sad to see one of the last great engineering achievements by the former Soviets has been destroyed. Ironically by the same people who built it. Nothing like seeing a nation implode the values they once held and made them mighty in the first place.

[@myfishingadventures1509]

The irony, it’s palpable
