The Antonov An-225 Mriya was a strategic airlift cargo aircraft designed in the 1980s by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union to transport Buran-class orbiters, and only one example was ever completed. After successfully fulfilling its military missions, the aircraft was kept in storage for eight years. It was then refurbished and reintroduced into commercial operation with Antonov Airlines, carrying oversized payloads.
With a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tonnes (705 short tons), the An-225 held several records, including heaviest aircraft ever built and largest wingspan of any aircraft in operational service.
The An-225 was destroyed in the Battle of Antonov Airport during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
