Chief Designer and co-owner of Fire Point Denis Shtilerman has posted a video of the launch of "Flamingo" rocket at the Russian "Avitek" plant in Kirov.
He posted the video on his social media page X on Friday, July 24.
Earlier, the Telegram channel Astra reported that explosions rocked the Russian city of Kirov on the morning of July 24, after which a fire broke out on the grounds of the Avitek plant. This facility manufactures anti-aircraft missiles for the Russian Armed Forces.
OSINT analysts have determined that the facility in question is the Vyatka-based machine-building enterprise “Avitek,” located on Oktyabrsky Prospekt in Kirov. According to the Exilenova+ monitoring channel, the strike was presumably carried out using “Flamingo” missiles. A hit was recorded on one of the plant’s central buildings, where employees may have been present at the time of the attack.
Avitek is subject to sanctions imposed by the United States, Ukraine, and several other countries due to its role in supporting the Russian military-industrial complex.
According to publicly available information, the company manufactures products for military, dual-use, and civilian purposes, including air defense systems, aircraft components, ejection seats for pilot rescue, and other aviation equipment.
According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the plant specializes in the production of surface-to-air guided missiles and target missiles, and is also involved in the production of the “Tor” air defense missile systems.
