Ukraine Strikes Oil Facilities Near Moscow With New FP-5 Flamingo and FP-7 Pelican Missiles
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine employed domestically developed FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles and FP-7 Pelican ballistic missiles in a September 20 strike in the Moscow region. Ukrainian reporting linked the operation to an oil facility and a logistics site, reflecting Kyiv's effort to expand sovereign long-range strike options. The FP-5 is reported to carry a payload of roughly 1,150 kilograms, while reliable public specifications for the FP-7 remain limited. Available evidence does not establish which weapon hit each target, and independent confirmation of the missiles' performance and the resulting damage remains incomplete.
