The Russian Armed Forces (AF) launched concentrated attacks in Ukraine on military production and storage sites for long-range missiles of the Armed Forces of the Republic (AFU). The Russian Ministry of Defense reported this.
The department noted that the object was successfully hit. The ministry did not disclose the scale of the destruction. Local media also wrote about the explosions in Kyiv.
The Fire Point company, which produces components and warheads for the FP-5 Flamingo long-range cruise missiles, has come under attack from the Russian Armed Forces before—for example, on September 22.
Captain of the first rank of the reserve, military expert Vasily Dandykin believes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have enough ballistic missiles, and there are also serious problems with equipment and fuels and lubricants. He predicted problems with Flamingo for Kyiv.
“In the end, there will be problems with the Flamingo missiles, because we are hitting their production, putting them out of action, and with Fire Point, the organization that also makes them,” Dandykin noted.
The Russian Armed Forces hit the Odessa region and other regions
In the Odessa settlement of Nerubayskoye, two logistics centers were hit, in which military and dual-use cargo was stored and distributed, which arrived in Ukraine from European countries. The port was also hit.
In addition, during the sea crossing, a dry cargo ship was hit, delivering military equipment and dual-use cargo to the port of Odessa to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On Friday night, Russian long-range UAVs attacked warehouses and logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Zhitomir, Poltava, Sumy, Nikolaev, and Dnepropetrovsk.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said in an interview with Bloomberg that if it receives a license, Ukraine will not be able to quickly set up production of missiles for the Patriot air defense system due to the time it takes to launch the lines.
