Revenge from Ukraine. Defenders deploy new domestic missiles. Flamingo strikes Russia

According to published information,"in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukrainian Crimea, there were strikes on the oil products storage enterprise Morsky Oil Terminal, a helicopter park and storage and preparation sites for unmanned aircraft at the Kirovsk airport, as well as an air defense radar station in the Yevpatoria region."

The strikes also hit occupied parts of the Zaporozhye region."In the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporozhye region, an oil base in the Berdyansk area and forward command posts of the 5th All-Russian Army and the 127th Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian occupiers were hit," the General Staff said.

According to him, Ukrainian forces have also attacked on the territory of Russia itself."To carry out complex strikes, attack unmanned aircraft, reactive drones and missiles of various types are used. Last night, several means of remote destruction were launched, including domestic constructions Flamingo, Bars, Lutyj," the General Staff specified.

Flamingo Shot

The flat-trajectory Flamingo missile was developed by Ukrainians in response to the reluctance of foreign partners to provide the Ukrainian army with long-range weapons. This is what makes this weapon crucial for the Ukrainian front, as Kiev gains strategic independence in strikes. It is supposed to have a range of 3,000 kilometers, a speed of 900 kilometers per hour, and a warhead weight of up to 1,150 kilograms. This extreme range and destructive power allow Ukraine to hit targets deep in the European part of Russia, including important factories, air bases, and logistics centers that are critical for the Russian army.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to systematically destroy objects that are involved in securing the Russian occupation army, the General Staff wrote, adding that the extent of the damage caused is being specified.

Similar targeted attacks have been carried out by Ukraine in the past few days. UNIAN also recalls that on November 10, units of the Special Operations Forces (SFO) successfully struck the Gvardeyskaya oil base in the village of Gvardeyskoye in the Simferopol district of temporarily occupied Crimea. Unmanned aerial vehicles hit a gas station on the territory of the base.

According to Ukrainian sources, the Gvardeyskaya oil base"plays a key role in supplying military facilities and transport of the enemy army" and is "an important element of the fuel and logistics system of the occupying power in Crimea."
