Canada to send seized Antonov transport to Ukraine

A uniquely upgraded An-124-100-150M was also damaged in the Hostomel fight. Since the early 1990s, these big haulers have been chartered by both civilian and military clients for rapid delivery of heavy, large-volume cargos including railway cars, industrial turbines, helicopters, tanks and, once, even a whale. Antonov Airlines retains a fleet of five An-124-100s which were re-homebased at Halle airport in Leipzig, Germany after the Russian invasion.
