On August 14th 2025, 3x ex Bulgarian Hinds were loaded onto an Antonov Airlines Antonov An-124 (UR-82029), supposedly to bolster Ukraine's army aviation capabilities. Flightracking shows otherwise, with the AN-124 flying to Burgas Airport in Bulgaria then to the UAE on the 15th of August. No confirmation on which serials but I doubt they are airworthy.

On August 14th 2025, 3x ex Bulgarian Hinds were loaded onto an Antonov Airlines Antonov An-124 (UR-82029), supposedly to bolster Ukraine's army aviation capabilities. Flightracking shows otherwise, with the AN-124 flying to Burgas Airport in Bulgaria then to the UAE on the 15th of August. No confirmation on which serials but I doubt they are airworthy.
