Overview
- Ukraine’s General Staff said FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles struck the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant in Udmurtia, a site linked to Yars, Bulava, Iskander-M and Kinzhal systems.
- Zelensky said the domestically made missiles flew about 1,400 kilometers to the target and that every missile launched reached it despite Russian air defenses.
- Satellite analysis by the OSINT group CyberBoroshno shows a roughly 30-by-24-meter hole in the roof of shop No. 19, consistent with a strike and subsequent fire.
- Fire Point reported two Russian attacks that destroyed major workshops and caused significant losses, yet diversified capacity allowed production to resume; one employee was killed near Vyshhorod.
- Kyiv aims to expand Flamingo output to reduce reliance on allies, with growth dependent on financing and component access, while purported strike footage circulating online remains unverified.
