:shock: ... thats instant KFC with Antonov taste. Judging on the blue props and white fuselage it seems to be a (former) Meridian AN-12.

UR-CAG seems to be the most likely victim.
Ukraine Air Alliance is the follow up of Meridian.

Found on Ukrainian website:
Accident: Ukraine Air Alliance AN12 at Leipzig on Aug 9th 2013, aircraft burned down during engine start

By Simon Hradecky, created Friday, Aug 9th 2013 07:28Z, last updated Friday, Aug 9th 2013 08:09Z
An Ukraine Air Alliance Antonov AN-12BP, freight flight from Leipzig (Germany) to Mineralny Vody (Russia) with 7 crew, was preparing for departure after being loaded with live chicken at Leipzig Airport, engines 1 and 4 were already running, when at 02:08L (00:08Z) fire broke out. The crew was able to leave the aircraft in time before the aircraft burned down completely.

The airport was closed for about one hour until fire services had extinguished the fire.

Germany's BFU is investigating the accident. An investigation team is on site, further details are not yet known.

According to ATDB Ukraine Air Alliance operate 6 Antonov AN-12BPs with the tail numbers: UR-CAG, UR-CAJ, UR-CAK, UR-CGV, UR-CGW and UR-DWF.

According to photographic evidence all aircraft except UR-CAG, that has an entirely white vertical stabilizer, have the airline's logo on the vertical stabilizer, hence most likely UR-CAG is the accident aircraft. UR-CAG flew from Krasnodar (Russia) to Stockholm Arlanda (Sweden) as flight UKL-4097 on Aug 8th and flew on to Leipzig as flight UKL-751.
