Such an amazing feat of engineering has rarely been seen on earth. Each takeoff and landing of the Mriya became spectacle, attracting the press and people from all over the world.
But in February 2022, Mriya was savagely destroyed by Russian rockets and artillary, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
You can destroy a plane, but you can't kill a dream. Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to rebuild Mriya. One day Mriya will fly again.
