Summary of "Massive attack on Russian military facilities in Urals; new missile shock from Ukraine to Russia"

Analysis of Ukraine’s Flamingo Missile Production and Deployment

The video discusses Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to increase production and deployment of its long-range Flamingo missiles targeting Russian military assets. Retired Ukrainian colonel and military expert Roman Svitan provides detailed analysis on the subject.

Key Points on Flamingo Missile Production and Capabilities

Production Status and Challenges The Flamingo missile is a complex and heavy weapon currently in limited pre-production and field testing stages. Claims of producing 200 units per month are considered unrealistic.
Engine Bottleneck The main production constraint is the AI25T engine, with only a few hundred units remaining. Restarting mass production of these engines at the required scale is practically impossible.
Current Missile Output Ukraine produces about one Neptune missile per week. Total missile output across various types might reach around 200 units monthly, but this figure does not apply to Flamingo missiles alone.
Range and Targeting The Flamingo missile likely has a range between 1,000 and 1,500 km. Russian analysis of destroyed missiles confirms this capability, allowing strikes deep into European Russia, including the Ural region.
Tactical Use and Effectiveness Deploying Flamingo missiles in large numbers, alongside drones and other missile types, could overwhelm Russian air defenses by saturating them with multiple targets and decoys.
Warhead Impact Each missile carries a warhead close to one ton, capable of disabling significant military infrastructure such as oil refineries or gas plants. Multiple strikes could cause underground detonations affecting deep facility layers.
Overall Battlefield Impact Despite production limitations, even a few dozen Flamingo missiles per month, supplemented by other weapons, could have a significant impact on the battlefield.

Brief Report on Israel’s Bombardment of Gaza

The video also briefly covers Israel’s airstrikes on Gaza, focusing on the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood in Gaza City. This area has suffered heavy damage due to efforts aimed at dismantling Hamas infrastructure.

Associated Press drone footage reveals widespread destruction, including flattened buildings and rubble-strewn streets.
