Footage has appeared online showing an An-124 "Ruslan" aircraft taking to the skies in a neighboring country.
According to the Telegram channel Readovka, it could have been a lifter confiscated from the Russian company Volga-Dnepr, a decision previously made by the Ontario Superior Court.
Later, the authors of the publication, citing specialized channels, clarified that the aircraft could still belong to the Antonov company.
The Canadian government has been holding one of the cargo carrier's aircraft since 2022 — the An-124 transport aircraft, which was performing a humanitarian flight to transport COVID-19 test kits. The Russian side continues to seek the return of the aircraft.
The An-124-100 is a transport aircraft capable of carrying oversized and heavy cargo. Between 2015 and 2022, Volga-Dnepr performed over 250 flights with 9,500 tons of oversized cargo for the implementation of industrial projects in the interests of Canada.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that innovative sensors for the Superjet SSJ-100 and MC-21 have begun to be produced in Crimea.
