Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 24, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2022 Multiple unconfirmed reports state that the world’s only AN225 has been destroyed by bombing in its hangar at Antonov Airport outside Kyiv. If true, this is a MASSIVE blow to the world’s heavy airlift industry. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 24, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2022 And now this. AN225 chief pilot tweets that Mriya is whole. So with everything so up in the air, no pun intended, no matter where you stand on this conflict, please pray or send good thoughts to our friends and the people out that way. Alexey Belov from Propper Plane, ResKit, Roden, Modelsvit, AMUR Reaver, we all have relationships with good people out there, plus all our friends and family out that way. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 25, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2022 I pray this is true, or even partially true. SOMEBODY or maybe different people, are running around in a MiG-29 harassing the Russians. I expect the truth is somewhere in the middle, but Ukraine needs a hero right now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 That has been slated as an urban legend, or plain propoganda if you will. There is no evidence that it is true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubert Because we do not target for assasination heads of state. So you put the pressure on the millions of Russians in hope they will dispose if him. I must say though I doubt he is giving direct orders to his tank drivers to run over civillians, etc. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Sweep the stairway from the top. However, Antonov will recover and perhaps build another marvel of aviation. And hopefully Mriya will stay in history as a symbol of of human endurance, defiance and sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 28, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted February 28, 2022 I know the Communist Party of China’s was trying to obtain all the tooling to build them in China. There is one unfinished Mriya at Antonov but China has said they want it and at one point stated that nobody else could touch it. I’m not sure how they they think they have that power, but they have most all of the worlds money, so I guess they are the boss. And now assuming Russia will control Ukraine and of course Antonov, the west may never have use of them again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 28, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted February 28, 2022 I truly despise the Russians who targeted Antonov. But WHY didn’t Antonov think to move their equipment OUT to Poland? It would have been simple and safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMackayDall Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Yes, I have seen the same images of destruction too, But there was a second Antonov-225 under construction before Putin's stupid special operational mistake. A clone 225 could be part of a Ukraine resurgence. There also the odd support groups like this Lego https://www.brickmania.com/an-225-mriya-strategic-airlift-cargo-aircraft/?mc_cid=6d65613b42&mc_eid=f747a183e1 as well as: https://www.brickmania.com/ghost-of-kyiv-mig-29-fulcrum-ukrainian-twin-engine-jet-fighter/ and https://www.brickmania.com/bayraktar-tb2-ukrainian-unmanned-aerial-combat-vehicle/ not to mention the minifig lego legions with: https://www.brickbanter.com/post/citizenbrick-sells-out-of-president-zelensky-minifigures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
