An-124 (proper name: "Ruslan"; code in the OKB and MAP: Product 400; according to NATO codification: "Condor") - a heavy long-range transport aircraft developed by O. K. Antonov Design Bureau.
Serial production was carried out at the UAPK (RSFSR) and KIAPO (Ukrainian SSR). More than a hundred enterprises in Russia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and other Soviet republics participated in the production of components for it in the USSR. After the collapse of the USSR and the cessation of mass production at both plants, there was a backlog, completed in the post-Soviet era. Attempts were made to resume full-fledged production, but they were unsuccessful.
Production
The aircraft was supposed to be built in parallel at two factories: in Kiev and Ulyanovsk. A representative office of the ASTC was organized at the UAPK, and V. I. Novikov was appointed as the representative of the General Designer.
Until 1994, the Kiev Aviation Production Association built 17 aircraft.
The Ulyanovsk Aviation Industrial Complex built 33 aircraft from 1985 to 1995.
After 1995, due to the difficult economic situation in the country, the production of An-124 aircraft was discontinued. At KiAPO, one aircraft No. 03-03 remained unfinished, in Ulyanovsk there were unfinished No. 08-01, 08-02, 08-03.
