Historical Background of UR-82073 and the "BE BRAVE LIKE IRPIN" Inscription
The Antonov An-124 "Ruslan" is an engineering marvel, revered as one of the largest and most capable cargo aircraft ever built. Among its fleet stands UR-82073 — a key aircraft operated by Antonov Airlines for missions ranging from global logistics to humanitarian efforts.
In 2022, amid russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the city of Irpin — located on the outskirts of Kyiv — became one of the fiercest battlegrounds. Once a peaceful suburb, Irpin was transformed into a frontline of resistance. Despite severe destruction, civilian casualties, and mass evacuations, the city stood defiant.
To honor Irpin’s resilience and bravery, the UR-82073 was emblazoned with the powerful message: "BE BRAVE LIKE IRPIN." This inscription, part of the broader "Be Brave Like Ukraine" campaign, is a tribute to the city’s unyielding spirit and the courage of its people.
Now immortalized on this aircraft model, the story of Irpin travels the world — not only through the skies, but also through the hearts of those who believe in freedom, resilience, and unity.
