The "VNIIR-Progress" plant in Cheboksary after an encounter with Ukrainian FP-5 "Flamingo" missiles. The enterprise produces navigation equipment, GNSS receivers, and "Kometa" antennas for UAVs, cruise, and ballistic missiles of the Russian Federation
As a reminder
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strike on a military plant in Cheboksary with FP-5 Flamingo missiles produced by the Ukrainian company Fire Point, as well as the strikes on the Kuibyshev Refinery and two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region of the Russian Federation.
Ukraine has previously struck the "Progress" plant. Specifically, on the night of May 5, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including the 19th Missile Brigade, struck the enterprise located more than 900 km from the Ukrainian border. FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles produced by the Ukrainian company Fire Point were used for the attack, and in the morning, the facility was further attacked by long-range drones.
The most important products of the enterprise are the "Kometa-M" jam-resistant satellite navigation antennas. These specific components provide navigation for Russian strike weapons.
They are used in "Shahed" type drones, guided aerial bombs (KABs), reconnaissance UAVs, as well as in Kh-101 cruise missiles and "Iskander" ballistic missiles.
