Воткінськ, Республіка Удмуртія. Було атаковано Воткінський завод - ключове підприємство російського ВПК. Спеціалізується на виробництві балістичних ракет, зокрема МБР типу РС-24 Ярс та оперативно-тактичних комплексів 9K720 Іскандер. Фактично - один із базових виробників ракетного озброєння...

From Zelensky's presser: "There were precise Flamingo missile attacks at a distance of 1,400 km.They will increase the quantity; this depends on money and certain components.Depending on the quantity, we will have more successful strikes.I wouldn't want to say how many Flamingos were used this time—with what quantity—but I would like to say that while there were some interceptions by Russian air defense, there were also many that weren't intercepted and hit their targets precisely.But most importantly, all the missiles that were launched reached their destination."

Looks like the system was used in several other locations, interesting to note that all missiles reached their destinations meaning those that were intercepted had bypassed most of Russia's AD.

Also interesting assessment by Fabian Hoffman on possible improvements to the missile.

Well Ukraine has been very busy the past few months attacking and destroying Russian SAM systems with SA-22 Greyhound in particular being destroyed enmass.
 
The Ukrainian company Fire Point is completing the development of its own jet engine for Flamingo cruise missiles, optimized for low-altitude flight.

Denys Shtilerman, the company’s chief designer and co-founder, shared this in an interview with PRO:UA.

According to him, the initial plan was to base the missile on the domestic AI-25 or AI-25TL engine, as it is significantly more efficient than the single-flow engines typically used in cruise missiles.

To support this approach, the company quietly built up a stock of used engines purchased through third-party companies. This reportedly allowed Fire Point to reach a production capacity sufficient to manufacture three missiles per day.

According to Shtilerman, the company is now completing development of its own engine. It will also be a turbojet engine with a low bypass ratio.

“The most important thing is that it is designed specifically for low-altitude flight. All the engines we use now were previously used in civil aviation. Their peak efficiency is roughly between 6,000 and 10,000 meters, so they are not very effective at sea level,” he explained.
 
One ton of boom against russian boom plant and depot. Must have made one heck of a huge kaboom.

Ukraine confirmed the use of FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles in a strike on the Promsintez explosives plant in Chapayevsk, causing an explosion in the production zone. The facility produces more than 30,000 tons of military-grade explosives annually, marking it as a key industry target. #Ukraine
