Recall
Satellite images confirmed the damage to a Russian border base in the Armiansk area of Crimea, where a barracks was completely destroyed. The strike could have been carried out by the newest long-range "Flamingo" missiles, which Ukraine has begun to mass-produce.
The long-range version of the Ukrainian cruise missile "Dovhyi Neptun", which has been under development since 2023, was publicly demonstrated for the first time. It can hit the enemy at a distance of up to 1000 km, has an increased fuselage diameter and a length of more than 6 meters.
