This is one of the iconic #Antonov #An-124 #Ruslan freighters originally designed for the Soviet military. Roughly 50 of those have been built. After the collapse of the Soviet Union quite a few of the planes have been used in the commercial charter business. This one, operated by Antonov Airlines flew cargo for the German military prior to the withdrawal from #Afghanistan. I saw it at #LEJ airport in spring 2021. A totally different time, it seems. In the meantime Russia has attacked Ukraine, including an eventually unsuccessful attempt to seize the Airport of #Kiev Hostomel where Antonov was based. The huge #An-225, the bigger sister of the #Ruslan was destroyed. The Ukrainian #An-125, though, seem to be still in business. They occasionally pop up on the flight tracker app of your choice hauling cargo all over the planet.
