"Buran"on its transporter Antonov-225 "Mriya" .Video document of the spaceship . the Russian space-program in the late 80's. The first flight of the Antonov-225 was in 1988. The 225 had flown till 1994 and had been re-activated in 2001. Today still it's the largest cargo transporter in the world! The An-225 is larger, than the Airbus-380 and this transporter is able to get up 200-250 tons of fright into the air! The fuel of this airplane can have a weight of 300 tons - much more than the complete takeoff weight of the most other large airplanes in the world! You'll find a lot of interesting information about the 225 and Buran in the web and also a lot of photos, but film documentes are a little bit rare! Here you will find a little collection.
