Ukraine's Flamingo attack on Kapustin Yar appears to have missed its mark

Ukraine reportedly fired four FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles at Russia's Kapustin Yar base, but satellite analysis found no hits on key facilities (sites 28 and 105), with only possible damage from UAV strikes. The heavy Oreshnik missiles are believed to be highly inaccurate, raising questions about Flamingo's effectiveness, and some observers label Flamingo a marketing propaganda hoax; prior Ukrainian drone strikes at Kapustin Yar have occurred with limited impact.
