New images have emerged of Ukraine's legendary Mriya-225 cargo plane 18 months after it was destroyed. Aircraft company Antonov has said parts from the original may be used in a brand new version. According to Popular Mechanics, a sister craft to the Mriya-225 was in construction prior to the full-scale invasion but never finished. Gavrylov said both new parts and parts recovered from the original craft would be added to the uncompleted sister plane. Remaking the plane would involve parts and construction facilities that no longer exist in Ukraine, Popular Mechanics reported.

The manufacturer of the world's largest cargo plane has announced plans to rebuild the aircraft. The plane, which is also known as "Mriya," is said to cost over half a billion dollars to rebuild. Antonov Co., the state-owned Ukrainian manufacturer of the An-225 cargo plane, said in a statement posted on Facebook that design work has begun on a second unit of the aircraft. The An-225, also known as "Mriya," was destroyed by Russian forces in an airfield near Kyiv in February.
