Ukraine eyes deep-strike Flamingo missiles against Russia's missile industry

Ukraine has stepped up use of domestically produced Flamingo cruise missiles since late 2025, including an overnight strike on Russia’s Votkinsk missile plant, signaling a potential shift toward deep-strike capability against high-value targets. Analysts say Flamingo could complement long-range drones, but its deployment depends on Fire Point’s production capacity and ongoing secrecy around the program, as well as recent attacks on Fire Point that have affected rollout; the initiative remains under scrutiny in Ukraine and among observers.

"Escalating Conflict: Ukraine's Mobile Strike Missiles and Accusations of Cluster Bomb Use"

Ukraine has been using 1960s-vintage 5V28 air-defense missiles for deep-strike missions, firing them at ground targets in Russia. A recent video circulating on social media shows one of these eight-ton missiles launching from a mobile launcher, indicating that the Ukrainians have adapted the system to be more mobile. The 5V28 missile, with a range of around 250-370 miles, has the potential to threaten Russian forces across occupied Ukraine and deep into Russia. Despite its age, the missile's speed and destructive power make it difficult to intercept. While waiting for the delivery of new American-made missiles, Ukraine continues to rely on the powerful 5V28s.
