Again wrong information. Blue and yellow flag is from Ukrain and not Russia. Ukrain is the producer of Antonov and they are the largest cargo planes of the world
It was gifted to Ukraine by Russia, on it’s independence, the aircraft is Russian made, Ukraine is operator but not producer of antanov
as usual. Shady copy-paste work.. SMH
Dear Jojo,
I studied at the Biggest Ukrainian University, The Aviation University of Kiev, from 1987 to 1994, and I was soe many times at Antonov Factory, and for this reason, let me explain you the follow:
1. The Antonov is an Ukrainian Trade Mark, founded in May 31, 1936, in Kiev (capital of Ukraine), by Antonov Bureau, in name of The Big Constructor Oleg Antonov;
2. The AN-225 (MRIA), was manufactured in Dec 21, 1988, from an AN-124 prototype (RUSLAN) Manufactures in De 26, 1982.
This is the true information which, you need to know.
