The orcs destroyed the former largest, which also was Ukrainian.

It is a symbol of Ukrainian national pride.

"The Antonov An-124 Ruslan is a massive, four-engine strategic heavy-lift aircraft, widely considered the world's largest operational cargo plane following the destruction of the An-225. Designed in the 1980s by the Antonov design bureau in the USSR, it features a 150-tonne payload capacity, specialized "kneeling" landing gear for loading, and front/rear cargo"
