The Antonov An-124 Ruslan, also known as the Condor, is the world’s heaviest cargo aircraft (it was second after the now-destroyed An-225) and a crucial asset for transporting oversized and heavy loads in both military and civilian contexts. Its ability to handle demanding logistical challenges has made it a vital player in various fields, including humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and heavy industry.
The An-124 is a massive aircraft, capable of carrying payloads up to 150,000 kg (330,000 lbs), depending on the model. Its sheer size allows it to transport large and heavy items that other aircraft cannot, making it indispensable for specialized cargo transportation.
