NATO Candid ??
As pointed out not even the same manufacturer. An 124 (c5ski) and a IL76 (c141ski) could easily be mistaken but not for the 6 engine split vertical stab AN 225 (>1 million lb GTOW)

Capable machine but just like all flying machines, you want to watch the numbers when you are computing your required runway to get airborne.
This is the M but like the USAF and its -141s, the Russians have stretched the -76 with the MF. The tanker version is the -78 Midas. The Russians have also done a version with the disc as their AWACs.
Note in the second photo the not-unusual use of 4 tires on the nose gear and a double bogie for the mains.
