Been one, on the ground. Shipping Patriot ground equipment (radar and engagement control station) from Dover NH to Riyadh. They make an impressive sight landing.

Cool.

Lockheed C-5A capacity 127.5 tons
Antonov AN-124 capacity 150 tons
Antonov AN-225 capacity 250 tons - now that is big!

Iconic (ironic ?) that the Russian heavy lifter was used to carry a US missile system from the US to an Arabic country.

A flat, straight, skidding landing like this on a smooth snow-covered surface (after the front landing gear failure) is about the “easiest” crash landing possible. They can probably rebuild the wing and engine strut. Sheetmetal banging.
