This was the world’s largest aircraft, AN-225 ‘Mriya’ (‘Dream’ in
Ukrainian). 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

Very sad loss. Designed to carry Buran and then abandoooned, it had
been brought to life and since carried a variety of "odd" cargo from
Wind turbine blades to COVID masks. ( it had delivered some to Montréal
YMX in may 2020 and had attracted a lot of media attention).

Very sad loss.

In every non-trivial program there is at least one bug.
