Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingos hit a military plant in Cheboksary. The Kuibyshev Refinery and two facilities in Russia's Vladimir region were also struck.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strikes by FP-5 Flamingo missiles, produced by the Ukrainian company Fire Point, on a military plant in Cheboksary, as well as the strikes on the Kuibyshev refinery and two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region of the Russian Federation, UNN reports.
We continue to apply Ukrainian long-range sanctions against Russian military facilities and the oil industry. In particular, tonight Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingos hit a military plant in Cheboksary, which provides the occupying army with components for drones and missiles. I thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their precision!
The President added:
The Kuibyshev oil refinery in the Samara region was also hit last night. The distance from the front line is over 900 kilometers. I am grateful to the soldiers of the SSO (Special Operations Forces), SBS (Systems of Unmanned Systems), and GUR (Defense Intelligence). The SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) also achieved quite just responses at two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region at a distance of 700 kilometers.
"I thank everyone who fights and works for the sake of Ukraine!" - Zelenskyy emphasized.
As a reminder
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, launched a strike on the enterprise located more than 900 km from the border of Ukraine. FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles, produced by the Ukrainian company Fire Point, were used for the attack, and in the morning, the facility was additionally 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 assets.
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.
