FP-5 Flamingo Strike: 1,000-km Mission Likely Hit VNIIR-Progress with 1–2 Missiles

Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles reportedly struck Russia’s AO VNIIR-Progress plant in Cheboksary, about 1,000 km from Ukraine, with roughly five missiles launched. Two were intercepted on approach to the Chuvash region and another near Cheboksary, suggesting only one or two missiles reached the target; the strike is described as successful, contrasting with a May attack where only one of six missiles hit. The operation involved careful route planning and maneuvering to evade radar and air defenses, and the long flight distance may have exceeded 1,000 km.
