Russia is ready to change "Ruslans" for "Elephants"

Russia is ready to replace An-124 Ruslan with the Elephant plane.

As part of the International Aerospace Show "MAX-2017", Russian specialists presented the project of a new heavy transport aircraft "Elephant", which in future will replace the An-124 "Ruslan" aircraft. According to some information, on its board the transport plane will be able to carry cargoes of mass up to 150 tons, at distances up to 7 thousand kilometers, while An-124 Ruslan is able to take on board only about 120 tons of payload carrying out its transportation to Distances up to 4,8 thousand kilometers.

The conceptual design of the new aircraft can be submitted as early as 2019, while its implementation will not be possible until 2025.

There is no way to call the name of the epic hero of the titan Svyatogor one of the most revered heroes of Ancient Russia, what does the "ELEPHANT" have to do with it?

Well done! It's even very cool! Make it so that Ruslan is also preserved

I don't like the name of the plane "Elephant". Ruslan was let there be Ilya Muromets
