#Long range missiles

VNIIR-Progress is a bottleneck in Russia’s production of military strike systems, manufacturing anti-jamming navigation components that help missiles and drones resist electronic warfare. That makes the facility a high-priority Ukrainian target, reportedly struck with a long-range Flamingo missile.

A Ukrainian FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missile reportedly struck the VNIIR-Progress defense electronics plant in the Russian city of Cheboksary, located in Russia’s Chuvash Republic, on June 10.

Ukraine has approved a new long-term development concept for its Rocket Forces and Artillery, outlining plans to expand domestic weapons production, phase out aging Soviet-era systems, and develop strike capabilities capable of reaching targets up to 2,000 kilometers away.
