RIP the "dream" plane

Antonov should be working on 100,000 suicide drones that deliver 25 kg payloads to 1,500 km distance, rather than building a single jumbo plane that has 15,000 km range and 250,000 kg lift capacity.

Personally I would much rather see a gigantic cargo plane that can move loads no other plane in the world can move, than a bunch of devices with no other purpose than killing people.

Personally I would rather see them building civil planes too. But Ukraine is at war, defending its land and people from invaders. The country has limited resources, including people who can design and build aircrafts. So they must prioritize. Today Ukraine needs long range capabilities to hit weapon depots, command centers, concentrations of troops, training camps and supply routes deep behind enemy lines. Not the jumbo plane.

PS. It is an honor to kill invaders who came to your country, and are murdering innocent civilians, rape your women and children.

Couldn't agree more. Before the plane got destroyed, it had helped distribute Covid vaccines -at least according to a Dutch newspaper-.
