#12There's talk that the only an-2 produced, that resides in Ukraine, was damaged or destroyed.
You're confusing the AN-2 which is a biplane, single engined mass-produced aircraft weighing about 3000kg, with the AN-225, which is a six-engined one-of-a-kind behemoth weighing about 285,000kg
ah! you're right.

#13Michael Manousakis and his Morlock Motors is nuts but hilarious to watch.

The An-2 (NATO reporting name: "Cock") is a single-engined utility biplane used throughout the former Warsaw Pact as a light airliner, cargo plane, and crop duster. Its general performance is comparable to the ancient Douglas DC-3, with the added twist that it generates so much lift at low speeds that it can land and take off from very rough, unprepared fields.

The COCK is the AN-22 and has four engines, which iirc are the same as used on the bear bombers. The NATO name for the An-2 biplane is COLT.

It's very unfortunate that the An-225 is now reported as destroyed in the war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-225_Mriya#2022_Russ...

Very sad, yes, this is the best source I could find https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/antonov-an-225-larges... I'm honestly surprised it was destroyed. Why wouldn't the Russians want to use this plane in the future? EDIT: an-2 != an-225.
>> Why wouldn't the Russians want to use this plane in the future?
Russian-owned and operated transport aircraft arent going to be flying much internationally for a while. Many of the an-225's customers are on the other side of sanctions walls.

It's also an incredibly powerful symbol of Ukrainian engineering and flight expertise. Antonov is a Ukrainian company.

Damn. I was just watching some videos of this plane last week and wondered if I’d ever get to see it in person some day.
