🇺🇦 "Flamingo" flies 1,400 km, attacks Russian missile factory🚀

🇺🇦 "Flamingo" flew 1,400 km, hitting a Russian missile factory.

🚀 Ukraine reveals it has used a domestically made FP-5 "Flamingo" long-range cruise missile to attack the Votkinsk plant in Russia's Udmurt Republic on February 20, 2026.

The facility is about 1,400 kilometers from Ukraine and is the manufacturing base of several major Russian missile types, including the Iskander and some intercontinental ballistic missiles.

🔥 Ukrainian military chief of staff determined that the fire broke out inside the factory area, while Russian authorities confirmed that 11 people were damaged and injured, but stated that the incident was caused by a drone, not a missile. Details of the damage to the production line are therefore not fully independently verifiable.

Earlier, President Volodymyr Selensky revealed that Flamingo production had previously stumbled behind Russian attacks on some of its production lines, but Ukraine has resumed production.

🏭 Fire Point Company once set a goal of expanding its production power to more than 200 balls per month. However, that figure is the company's "goal," not the actual production power that has been confirmed.

This event reflects that Ukraine is increasingly developing its own long-range attack weapons to reduce its dependence on Western weapons and restrictions on their use.

Note: It should not be stated as "the first time Ukraine has used self-made weapons to attack strategic facilities in Russia" because Ukraine has previously used domestically developed weapons to attack targets deep inside Russia.
