Don't be that sad about it, dude.
The An-225 T-1 airplane that got destroyed inside its hangar, in early this year of 2022; was the reserve airplane, for crew retraining and spare parts support, of the flight operations of the An-225 T-2 airplane. A bit like in this mid April, when the the Moskva K-5 battle cruiser sunk; that in fact used to be a simplified battle cruiser crew retraining ship, in direct support cast to the Moskva K-7 battle cruiser, naval defense operations.
Then through that devious way, most of the staff involved in the operation and maintenance of those two colossus of the Terra modern engineering; can finally follow their path into their already earned opportunity to civi-retire and also to have to start tolerating most of those outside courtyard flies, as well.
Thank you
Thank you Denys for the explanation,🙏 I also was wondering why that unique aircraft was left in such vulnerable position
Thanks, Mauro
And you naive believe it
@@TheEryk03 and you interest noone, cheers
Where else would you have put it? It is the biggest cargo plane in the world ! It would have been vulnerable everywhere on that airport!
@@christianjunghanel6724 that is why a place outside the country was offered
A total disgrace the way the previous incumbents at Antonov behaved.Obviously not interested in saving their equipment.Hopefully the new management can sort out this mess,and hopefully rebuild the damaged airframes.
Great explanation on the current situation.
Great job👍!
225 was funded and financed by The Sovirt Union which consisted of many republics. Now the Soviet is gone and space shuttle program is long scrapped. I doubt Antonov can rebuild her. Theres no purpose for a rebuild anymore.
probably they destroyed the plane themselves and blame the russians for it.
@@MetaView7 Exactly. The plane wasnt made by Ukraine alone. They just got it for free.
I'm 99% sure that once that war ends; the An 225 being discussed will be put back in service, especially there' another airframe handy.
And it would NOT surprise me to see a fleet of those birds built from scratch; albeit with newer avionics, engines, etc.
@@piercehawke8021 that building was probably damaged, since it most likely was hit by artillery fire. I think the second frame and parts didn't survive, since there is no news or footage about the second frame and structure that housed it. Only way to rebuild the 225 is to get out the old blueprints and restart an entire production line from scratch, which would cost way more than 3 billion to do so, around 6-7 billion since they would have to build new parts, unless they cannibalize 124s for the job. Most likely Antonov will just take parts from one to save costs, since even with the money, it would take years, if not decades to train new people to build soviet aircraft from scratch, before adding new modernization equipment. I do not believe there are enough Soviet-era engineers alive or fit for work to even start working, on top of the fact that the main building that housed the key data including servers most likely housing blueprints and instructions to other important documents regarding building the airplane probably disappearing (that place was also most likely attacked/destroyed by the attacks). I am not sure if physical copies of the blueprints survived or not, hopefully they did.
In my childhood there was a regular AN-22 military transport to my town. That monster really got me and i still hear the specific engine sound
I live in the State of West Virginia USA and our city sits directly under a major USA air route. I track aircraft on the ADS-B site and I have seen the AN-225 the AN-124, AN-22 and AN-12's from Ukraine over our house. What a beautiful site they were against the blue sky at high altitude ! So sorry for whats happening to your Country.
What makes me even more sad was they knew that mriya had to evacuated. I cried when I came to know that she was destroyed . She was one of my favorite in top 5
I cried also...and in '06 when we retired our F-14 Tomcats, which shot down Lybian MiG's firing at them over and coming towards us during the Gulf of Sidra Incident '81-protecting our a$$es on the USS Texas (CGN-39).
Really...... so.........
The complete 225 is registered UR82060. The destroyed plane is registered UR82009. So the destroyed plane was not the 225. It was a mocked up 124.....and you claim she was in your top 5 ???????
I didn’t ‘cry’ per se..BUT KNEW it was a VERY sad, tragic loss. Also wondered IF there were “other factors” involved..
Cpt Dmytro is doing a great job, not only for his company, but for his country. Great gesture of solidarity, Pilot Blog. Greetings from Brazil. Slava Ukraine !
Thank you Denys for explaining why the Antonov 225 was not relocated. The destruction of that beautiful plane was just heartbreaking.
Can you please explain me too why it wasn't evacuated if there was the risk.
I didn't get it. Why the management didn't do it?
@@markmd9 the aircraft is on its maintenance which removed its engine
@@TheMrLeast i dont think thats the case, if they want they can do it faster, i believe that plane gonna be used for cargo of weapons from nato againt rusia, thats why it became target for russia army
@@billykulim5202 It was probably destroyed by the Ukranian army, when they pelted the captured airport with unguided rockets. There are go-pro videos from the Russian airlanding forces capturing the airport on the internet. You can see they didn't touch the plane.
@@itsmebatman yes many possibility, because ukraine seems like to post fake news
Thank you for the video and the update. The loss of the 225 now that it appears the company senior management may have been involved is appalling. Hopefully she can be rebuilt using the spare hull but time will tell. Stay safe, appreciate your assistance. Sydney, AU 🇦🇺 🇺🇦
You are correct
The old inside job
One problem the second one is also in… Ukraine
The pity of it all is that there could have eventually been two, although that notion was financially problematic.
Disgraceful ! These so-called managers are a bunch of pussies ! To save their sorry hides, they sacrificed this magnificent aircraft and high-tailed it to the West.
Hmmm, I can't help wondering, who really destroyed it.. Greetings from Tassie.
Very clear description addressing why such a unique aircraft was left on harm's way. Wishing you and your family and friends the very best. Blessings.
having worked in the insurance industry before... i have 2 questions... 1) what was the 225's utilisation & condition before the destruction? ... the airframe is no spring chicken anymore. its also very very thirsty. 2) what was its insurance value for loss & will there be a claim?
always follow the money trail. have seen claims before where planes were deliberately put in a position that increased their possibility of loss to get a payout. not saying that was what happened, but i expect there is still more to come to light. the request for $300m in funding to get the 2nd an225 up in the air is also a waste of time. still though people sending money for managers pockets is always a nice bonus. if antanov really wanted to do something good. get a few An70 up and running. thats actually a very good transporter.
The first thing that I was thinking was which Insurance company is holding the policy, and in which country they are located... I too doubt such a flagship airframe of an airline was just abandoned, with no relocation attempted. 🤔
I would think most if not all insurances do not pay for wartime damages. Might be different in the airline industry, but I doubt that.
@@thomasgunther Don't most cover "acts of terrorism"? one could argue this, while quite a stretch might actually count... Definitely not a natural disaster, "act of god" or direct sabotage, so a specific writer would be needed for clarification.
@@thomasgunther you can buy insurance to cover anything. for such a high value one off ticket item - probably facultative reinsurance with different insurers taking different slices of liability.
They stopped making them for a resion
Seeing MRIYA was a dream of mine, I hope she rises again. Ukraine is a beautiful country I had the pleasure to be there last year, I strongly hope Ukraine stands back and their "Dream" will not perish. Sending all the support from Nepal.
Can u send money instead of support!
Billions of dollars for a single plane? It took the resources of a command economy to develop and build it. No, it will never come back.
Thanks for this video denys. Please stay safe when you go for your medical🙏all the best for you and your family 🇺🇦greetings from germany
Many thanks for your comment!
Pretty sad that the only one is destroyed. Thanks for sharing bro, stay safe!
Good video and good explanation.. stay safe you and you family, Denys!
Antonov 225 and Ukraine shall rise again! 💪🏼🇺🇦 Sending much love and all the support I can give from Germany. Slawa Ukraini!
Geroyam Slava! Thanks for your kind support!
If you want to help from Germany than you can elect new leaders!
Germany refused to allow neighboring countries to transport weapons through Germany for Ukraine. Germany said they would help Ukraine, then only sent 5,000 moldy helmets. Germany is not a friend to Ukraine. All Germans should be ashamed of your countries actions in this.
Ty for the video captain. Stay safe
Thanks for your support ✈️❤️
thank you denys. i think your awsome with all of the things that you have been doing
Great video and I am a new subscriber from the UK to your channel. I love planes especially Myria. Wish you the best of luck my friend.
Thank you so much for the video and the explanation!
Thanks for your support ❤️✈️
wow that's unfortunate. Thanks for sharing Denys, stay safe.
You are a great voice for Antonov and your country.
Thank you for your continued videos👏🏻
Thank you for the explanation.
If it was up to me, I would nominate Mr. Dmitriy Antonov for the CEO post at Antonov Company.
Have to 100% agree with that .
I liked and subscribed. Good luck my friend! I hope that things get better soon!
Well done as usual. Thank you! Very important to broadcast this factual information. Those nasty management = 1000000000% a$$hole bastard criminal traitor bastard a$$holes. Straight up. Very grateful for you 🙌🙏and very very grateful for dearest Dmytro as well. 🥰❤You guys are very much needed! Hope all goes well with your Med Cert etc too, be safe and get back safe to your family of course. Sending so much love and continuing courage to you guys. Vale Mriya. 💙💛 Glory to Ukraine in the highest. 💛💙
Thanks for your support, Leonie ❤️✈️
Thanks for the info
I hope you'll have a new management, who deserves to take care of this amazing plane - the new one that is.
So sad story, and kind of outrageous as well...
Stay blessed and thaks for explaining
Thank you for explaining what really happened.
It seems that the an 225 was destroyed deliberately. First, it was left there in the hangar for no obvious reason and then it was directly hit by a bomb that literally ripped its head off. This whole war seems very suspious to me
The first thing Russians did is to bomb airports at the 4 in the morning.
After that there was nothing else they can do, you can't hide it.
Welcome to the club !
The fact that the media is all about it is all you need to know. Something is not right here
Most assuredly so.
The war is suspicious - the fate of the AN225 not. I as a small business owner, of course, I watch out not to get my company car scratched - because it is mine and I'd have to pay to fix it. Or I'd be responsible to my investors. Antonov is a government owned company. The management does not care because they have their posts due to linkage with government officials who do not care either. Their only concern is to take out as much ressources from the company as possible. And then they flew to the west with their families and left the company behind - not their business. This is not specific too much to Ukraine - it is government companies. But Antonov is a sad example: for many years they haven't been able to produce a single new aircraft - though they have quite a few nice models which have a market in the world and could sell very well.
Thank you for the explanation I appreciate it❤
Thank you for explaining WHY, HOW this 1-of-a-kind Aircraft was destroyed in its shelter. When I saw the pictures of the damaged ANTONOV, I was shocked ad upset.
Thanks Denys for the explanation. I have viewed and subscribed to Captain Antonov's Channel.
Many thanks 🙏
Thanks for explanation! I just asked that question myself couple of days ago. Regardless management failed, it's unusual there is no protocol to follow under such extreme situations...
I had wondered why it wasn’t moved before the war started. Thank you for letting us know. I look forward to the second partially built airplane being finished and flying in the future painted in the usual bright colors triumphantly traversing our planet doing good work for customers once again. Thank you again!
Wow ! Thank you for this explanation. I cannot believe this - the entire management fled to Leipzig and due to lack of commands, the planes could not be brought to safety, although the management was warned and there was an option for them to fly the plane(s) out to Leipzig before the war even startet...
Very well explained
I saw one of these Antonovs fly into O'Hare Airport to pick up heavy equipment after the earthquake in Armenia. I was almost a half-mile away, and the exhaust pushed us around. It was the most impressive plane than I ever saw.
...this info is just mindbogg... those top management should be panisched for that with a full strength! Good work brother! Stay strong, stay free brother! Greetings from 🇵🇱 ! 💪🇺🇦
Thank you for this, my daughter is 21 years old serving in the British army… she was mortified when she heard the news …. in absolute pieces!
Ok
feel sorry for you and your daughter
Over an airplane?
@@jimjoe9945 no! Woke!
@@jimjoe9945
Damn right! My dear departed daddy used to say that planes and dogs will stick with you, if they can. He learned to fly in the U.S. Army Air Corps, in a biplane (a PT-13). (This was in WWII.) By the time he retired, he was flying jet fighters. He would have loved to see an Antonov monster or a C5A take off!
Thank you for the video Pilot blog, It's such a shame the planes especially the AN225 were not relocated before war broke out, It's good the people responsible for the demise of them have been removed, Their ignorance,Cowardness and flippancy towards the airline and the planes was criminal! but what's done is done now and unfortunately we cannot go back. I do hope however that one day a new Mriya will be built and fly high again as a new symbol for the Ukraine.
Interesting video, thanks for the explanation........................
Well done Denys
Thank you for sharing a buetiful vedio watching from Phil
Thank you!!
Thank you please stay safe
Those managers are cowards and should be arrested for abandoning.
I've always loved the Antonov planes. I remember seeing one when I was a child at the local airport and it stuck in my mind. Such a great beast of a plane yet still beautiful.
I hope new managers are put in place who will look after it as it should be and the planes get rebuilt. They deserve to fly and its always great to see them.
Good luck my friend I sure hope you are able to fly soon.
Good Luck mate, you’re a very decent man. Thank you for your insight. We’re desperately sad and concerned about the Russian invasion and want you to know the whole world is 💪 totally with Ukraine.
Great informative update. Looking forwards towards Peace and Sanity to return...
Dmytro's channel is awesome , it also has Eng subtitles
Sad story. Liked video. Good Luck. YOU AND YOUR FSMILY STAY SAFE.
Much appreciated
Such a shame... Why did those guys run away ? What a waste of a lovely aircraft.. and the other aircraft they were damaged. I'm. Sorry for this. ..
Good video stay safe
That explains it. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Thanks
Very well explained, good to hear the intention after the war is won 👍
So sad. What a Huge loss. For Everyone.
You seem very tired man, take care and stay Safe ✊😔
Thank you, I will
TY
Thank you Sir For the explanation ,Very sad what the upper management did ,you now know who the good and bad ones are. God Bless you and your family we pray for you here in the US and around the World . Ukraine strong 💪 and Be Safe. God Bless
I have a model of Mriya coming, and I would definitely love to buy a piece of the actual plane.
I too purchased a model shortly after its demise. Long time coming from China, but it should be here Friday.
They should preserve the nose cargo door in a museum, once the war is over.
Wow too good!
I was very sad to see the fate of this plane. I am glad there is a plan to bring it back to the skies. My prayers are with you guys.
Thank you for this information. You give us hope that one day, like the phoenix rising from the ashes, the mighty 225 will rise again.
Such a painful truth.... I always will wait for the return of Antonov 225 or higher series !!
I was truly saddened by the destruction of this bird. I saw it in Wichita years ago when they used it for transport - it was amazing to see it.
Very interesting video, hope they can rebuild the Myria 🤞🤞🤞
It's so depressing. I got to see the 225 at Aerospace America in Oklahoma City in 1990. I hope to see it back one day. Maybe they'll sell unrecoverable pieces of the destroyed one to help finance the rebuild?
Whatever the reason it was destroyed, all I can say is what a bloody shame! And I think it visited here in Australia once or twice
Great explanation.
(Nice to see that the name of the pilot is Antonov.)
This is so sad
I really admired this magnificent marvel of aeronautical engineering
i remember seeing this remarkable plane at the honolulu international airport one day. was very sad to hear of it getting banged up.
Hello Pilot - I have been subscribed to both Pilot Blog and Dmitro Antonov Channel for some time and have been concerned, following the destruction of MRIYA, over the safety/fate of the second Airframe/Fuselage that it too had suffered the same fate as AN225. Dmitro said he had met Evgeny Gavrilov (the new head of Antonov SE) and there had been a tragic lack of support from the previous management which resulted in the loss of AN225 and many other Aircraft at Gostomel Airport. Very sad to see such wanton destruction by the wretched Russian forces at both Gostomel, and the offices of Antonov where much Antonov materials were stolen also. That wretched putin MUST be stopped - and the same done to him as he has caused to Ukrainians in Bucha, Mariapul and elsewhere. Long live Ukraine! Death to your enemies! Michael UK
Sounds like awesome management to work for.
Thnx Boris
Very sad ending to to an iconic aircraft and a big loss to the aviation world.
Big Loss . Very bad Pun .
Thinking out loud here....
I wonder if the ppl that make the aircraft skin key chains would be interested in helping the cause here to rebuild the 2nd 225 by making a heap of key chains from parts of the wrecked 225?
Just a thought....
This whole situation is upsetting beyond belief, man…I’ve been a fan of the 225 since the 90s. RIP aluminum overcast : (
No one cares :)
*-Vladimir Putin*
With the pilots not being able to make that decision to move it, sometimes it is better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.
Thank you for this video. Is the second partially completed Airframe ok. This could be used to rebuild the AN-225.
Be Safe! from S.Korea
I didn’t even want to click on this. Breaks my heart.
.....and you will WIN this war, Such a wonderful aircraft, so glad I saw it take off last year in Shannon
They still had an incompleted airframe of the 225, hopefully this will motivate them to complete it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Aircraft.We love it it was in Perth AUSTRALIA a few years ago 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for ur explanation stay save stay strong praying to all in UKRAINE ❤🇺🇦
Hi Denys......by the way.....I was already subscribed to Dmytro Antonov channel 😉👋.....X Betsy.....
Im sad that that huge bird was left so vulnerable hope it can be put back together agin so sad
I've seen it taking off out of Stewart Airport, NY
That's a great explanation and also an excellent example of a complete lack of independent thinking in a critical situation. I must be some kind of Cowboy because if the crew was ready to go, I would have taken the initiative. I'd rather save the plane and ask for forgiveness than see it damaged, but that's just me
When your house if being shelled, you gather all your important things and get out. Only an idiot waits for permission.
So glad I found this! I have no background in aviation and only started researching Miriya a few nights ago,, and this video cut my list of questions quite a bit! I was wondering... If maximized, how much military cargo could she have carried? Say in humvees as a visual reference? Stay safe.🖖🐢
Sir after 10th Or 12th grade what should we learn to become a pilot
My prayers to you.
дякуємо, що поділилися цим відео.будь в безпеці, будь сильним🙏✈️💙💛
I saw 225 in Portland Oregon years ago. Shame it's gone.
I was just watching your video when you showed the inside of 225 so sad she is no more what a tragedy to loose such a wonderful plane you are right the management are nothing but self serving rats I hope new management rebuild with the other fuselage and wings we get to see her in the skies again
Tragic story. This aircraft was loved by crowds all over the world. It was my fervent hope to see this aircraft one day. Sadly it will never happen now.
