The long hand of Ukrainian retribution:

New development: Rocket “Flamingo” (FP-5) is a representative of a new generation of Ukrainian means of defeat. Its characteristics make it possible to overcome the enemy’s PVO systems and hit strategic objects at a significant distance.
Military objectives: It is reported that the targets of the night attack were the warehouses of ammunition, aerodromes and logistics centers, which provide groups of occupation troops.
Night concealment: The use of missiles in the dark for days makes it difficult for them to visually detect and intercept by the Russian air defense forces, which increases the effectiveness of strikes.

The massive use of domestic cruise missiles against objects on enemy territory testifies to the new stage of the war, where the Russian rear ceases to be a safe place.
