Ukraine Strikes FSB Base in Crimea
Ukraine has tested its new long-range FP-5 'Flamingo' cruise missile under combat conditions, striking a Russian FSB base in occupied Crimea.
According to Die Welt, as reported by Ukrinform, three cruise missiles were used during the attack on the Russian security base in northern Crimea.
There are reports of the combat use of Ukraine's new weapon — likely in a testing scenario.
Fabian Hoffmann, a missile technology expert at the University of Oslo, estimated that two of the three missiles hit the target, while one fell about 100 meters away.
At first glance, this may not seem like a great result. But considering the strikes left craters up to 15 meters in diameter, it is clear that the lack of precision is compensated by massive destructive power.
