I read "destruction / grounding" as "or", rather than "and". From what I can find in a quick search there's lots of rumours, but nothing confirmed, so who knows

I read "destruction / grounding" as "or", rather than "and". From what I can find in a quick search there's lots of rumours, but nothing confirmed, so who knows at this point.
- izacus 5y agoThere are some tweets now showing it burning inside a destroyed hangar so it's most likely gone :/
- masklinn 5y agoI expect it’s “destruction or grounding of the Antonov fleet” because not all planes were in Kyiv, and so the planes currently working outside of Ukraine would probably be grounded in the meantime, with the ones at Antonov’s facilities likely destroyed.
- elygre 5y agoThe ones outside Ukraine are operational, it seems. A Norwegian army platoon is on the way to Lithuania in one of those, pretty much as we speak. (Yes, left Oslo 16 minutes ago. https://www.flightradar24.com/ADB5090/2af5a3ab https://www.flightradar24.com/ADB5090/2af5a3ab.)
- sofixa 5y agoFor now, but without spares ( because the Antonov factories are probably destroyed) they'll have to be grounded eventually.
