World’s Biggest Plane Destroyed in Russian Attack

[John Clark]

The world's largest aircraft was the Ukrainian Antonov-225 cargo plane,  Ukrainians called it Mriya which means "dream",  this magnificent airplane held the world record for carrying the largest and heaviest load of any type of airship. Yesterday Mriya was destroyed by Russian ground soldiers while it was sitting in a hangar undergoing maintenance, apparently because it was a symbol of Ukrainian pride. The Ukrainian foreign minister said: 

"Russia may have destroyed our ‘Mriya’. But they will never be able to destroy our dream of a strong, free and democratic European state. We shall prevail!"
