Ukrainian Flamingo missiles strike chemical plant in Russia's Volgograd, Fire Point says
"Flamingos paid a little visit to Volgograd last night," Fire Point said in a social media statement. "Ukrainian sanctions, as always, proved to be the most effective."
Ukrainian military launched a Flamingo missile strike on Russian military-industrial targets in Volgograd on September 11, according to Ukrainian missile manufacturer Fire Point. The Flamingos targeted the facilities overnight, sparking a massive fire. The FP-5 Flamingo is a heavy cruise missile manufactured by Fire Point, which has since undergone modifications and upgrades to improve accuracy.
Footage from monitoring channels showed fires emanating from the facility, though the full extent of the damage remained unknown. Volgograd Region Governor Andrey Bocharov confirmed that an industrial facility in southern Volgograd was damaged by falling debris. The targeted company, Volgogradpromproekt LLC, is a chemical manufacturer under U.S. sanctions for supporting Russia's military.
The sanctions prohibit the company from producing ferrocene-containing combustion catalysts and chemical production technology.
