New drone footage reveals wreckage of world’s largest plane An-225 Mriya at Antonov airport

New drone footage reveals the deserted ruins of a destroyed Antonov airport, near Kyiv now a burnt wreck.

Visuals supplied by Babylon 13 on Friday show several planes and hangers wrecked by the fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces.

The wreckage of the Antonov An-225 Mriya can be seen lying in a large hanger.

Known as Mriya or "dream" in Ukrainian - it was the heaviest aircraft ever built at 314 tonnes and had been in service for more than three decades.

The mighty plane had been ruined amid a fiery battle for control of the airfield in early March.

The airport was blitzed as Russian troops targeted airports and airbases around Ukraine after Putin launched a bloody invasion of Ukraine.

According to reports, Russian troops have withdrawn from the airport.
