Gotta love the An-225 and how much gear it can carry. It's one of my favourite aircraft. Let's hope the trip and cargo capacity was not wasted though. A whole bunch of Chinese medical supplies sent to Turkey, Spain and the Netherlands in March were rejected as not fit for purpose. I thought that was strange, but one of my customers told me yesterday that some Chinese supplied equipment sent to them last week (thermometers and other digital medical testing gear) is being returned to sender as it basically doesn't work. Nothing like finding out your equipment is giving wildly different readings making it effectively useless - AFTER it has been sent to several job sites and mine sites across the state. The company that ordered the stock is understandably furious. Ooops!

That Mriya (dream) is sure one enormous vodka burner Don, thanks for sharing

I believe they only built one of them, so its done sterling service.

Believe it or not, there is a second example in a partially completed state (70% assembled) that is being kept as a backup. I would love to see both of them do a formation flyby someday.
