The An-124s are not military a/c, they are owned and operated by a couple private heavy lift airlines. They are hired under wet lease contracts to both governmental and private organizations. NATO used them a lot to/from Afghanistan while they were waiting for their Airbus Atlas and C-17 a/c. They also are used alot to transport oversized space vehicle/components.
