In The News Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 DALLAS – As Ukrainian manufacturer Antonov Design Bureau also happens to run its very own mega-sized freight carrier, Antonov Airlines (ADB) has renamed much of its fleet after Ukrainian cities that were casualties of the Russian invasion. The campaign goes by the motto, “Be Brave Like Ukraine.” The airlines’ latest social media post states the following, “On the Day of Ukrainian Statehood, in order to honor the true heroism and resilience of the Ukrainian people, shown by them in the resistance to the massive armed aggression of Russia against Ukraine, Antonov Company joins the communication campaign “Be Brave Like Ukraine.” Antonov’s aircraft received their own names of “hero cities.” Listen to this article: Image : Antonov Comapny social media Aircraft Name List AN-124-100, side number UR82029: ВE BRAVE LIKE BUCHA;АN-124-100, UR82073: ВE BRAVE LIKE IRPIN;AN-124-100М, UR82027: ВE BRAVE LIKE KHARKIV;AN-124-100М, UR82007: ВE BRAVE LIKE MYKOLAIV;AN-124-100М, UR82008: ВE BRAVE LIKE OKHTYRKA;AN-124-100-150, UR82072: ВE BRAVE LIKE KHERSON;AN-124-100М-150, UR82009: ВE BRAVE LIKE MARIUPOL;AN-28, UR-NTE: ВE BRAVE LIKE CHERNIHIV;AN-158, UR-EXJ: ВE BRAVE LIKE VOLNOVAKHA;AN-178, UR-EXP:ВE BRAVE LIKE HOSTOMEL Antonov An-124-100.
