This video had surfaced online, of six men pushing the huge AN-124 airplane which weights well over 150 tons. Many people in the online community had assumed that Russians are so strong that they don’t even need powerful tugs to pushback their airplanes. Well, watch the video carefully and maybe you’ll see who’s really pushing the plane…

Nice video.
For those who have not worked it out the An-124 is towed backwards by a bridle from the main undercarriage.
By the way, they must have had 3 Weetabix for breakfast as the declared empty weight is 175t.
