In Ulyanovsk, a road had to be closed to tow the An-124 transport aircraff

However, drivers were probably not against it — you don't see such a sight every day. 😍

The UAPK Aviation Plant (Ulyanovsk Aviation Industrial Complex) "Aviastar" was built in 1976 specifically for the production of these giants.

Today, the enterprise is fully focused on the production of modernized military transport Il-76MD-90A and tanker Il-78M-90A.

Production of the An-124 was discontinued in 2004, but the plant continues to provide maintenance and modernization services. In addition, "Aviastar" participates in cooperation for the production of components for the MC-21, Sukhoi Superjet 100, and Il-114-300.

Beautiful airplanes ✈️
