World's biggest plane Antonov AN-225 looks severely damaged in new Ukraine video
Russia after all, as shown in a video of the fighting at Hostomel Airport in Ukraine."Mriya" which means "dream" has been the pride-and-joy of the Ukrainian air fleet since its first flight in 1988 and has six engines and the ability to carry up to 640 tonnes.Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba confirmed the plane's destruction in a Twitter post but a professor later said satellite images indicated it might still be intact.Unfortunately, new footage appears to back up Mr Kuleba's statement that the plane is a smoking wreck.In the clip, said to be filmed on February 25 or 26, there are columns of smoke rising from different parts of the airport and bangs from gunfire or explosions.The damaged aircraft hangar is briefly seen and smoke appears to be coming from a plane inside, which some said was the Antonov AN-225.Antonov Company hit back against the video and asked people not to speculate on whether or not the plane was destroyed.It tweeted: "NO NO NO NO… Currently, until the #AN225 has been inspected by experts, we cannot report on the technical condition of the aircraft."Please wait for the official announcements about the condition of the aircraft."People analysing the footage drew different conclusions, with some reckoning they had spotted damage to the nose and at least one engine and others thinking it's a totally different plane in the hangar.One said: "I hope that the Ukrainian Dream is still alive."A second commented: "Is there a possibility that it's just an An-124 with the same coating of An-225?"Although the hanger looks like the same one on that satellite photo······But hey, maybe it only has 4 engines?"Someone else wrote: "Looks as though it's just the nose cone has fallen off due to fire (amongst what

The heaviest aircraft ever built was in service for more than three decades before being wrecked by Russian forces as they captured the Hostomel airfield.Its condition has since been inspected by experts who estimate that restoration will take five years and cost over $3billion (£2.2billion).The Antonov Company tweeted that it could not verify the "technical condition" of the aircraft until it had been "inspected by experts".The Ukrainian state defence company Ukroboronprom - which manages Antonov - vowed in a statement the aircraft would be rebuilt using cash from Moscow.It said: "The restoration is estimated to take over 3 bln USD (£2.2billion) and over 5 years."Our task is to ensure that these costs are covered by the Russian Federation, which has caused intentional damage to Ukraine's aviation and the air cargo sector.

Russian tanks filmed rolling over border into Ukraine as Putin issues chilling warning
comes under attack in a "full-scale" invasion.Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered his military into the wider part of Ukraine overnight – despite weeks of denials that he would do so – with his forces entering the country from Russia, Belarus and Crimea, part of Ukraine already seized by Russia.Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says Russia has launched a "full-scale" attack with troops crossing the border on several fronts.The tank footage, which is said to have been filmed at Senkivka, was shown on CNN and then went viral on Twitter.Senkivka is at the border where Ukraine, Belarus and Russia meet, and is a long way from the regions of Ukraine that Putin originally said he was helping to defend.It also highlights the involvement of Belarus – one of Putin’s few allies in the region – in Putin’s operations.The world has been on tenterhooks for the past few weeks with Western intelligence warning that an invasion by Putin was imminent. Russia had publicly scoffed at that claim, but this morning’s actions appear to have vindicated those warnings.Earlier this week Putin invaded the Ukrainian regions of Donbask and Luhansk, claiming the separatist regions had asked for help, but the latest developments signify an all-out invasion of Ukraine.One of the responses on Twitter to the video of tanks at Senkivka says: “That’s nowhere near Donbas and Luhansk.
