One of Russia's key factories was hit.
Loud explosions were heard in the Russian city of Samara, and local residents are reporting a fire. Observers speculate that one of Russia’s key factories may have been targeted.
Monitoring channels believe that local residents in Russia have recorded hits by Ukrainian FP-5 “Flamingo” missiles. This was reported by the monitoring group Exilenova+.
According to intelligence sources, the target of the attack by Ukrainian FP-5 cruise missiles may have been the Aviatek plant. Open-source information indicates that the company manufactures aviation equipment, guided anti-aircraft missiles, target missiles, and components for the Russian Kh-101 and Kh-59 missiles, and is also involved in the production of the “Tor” air defense system.
Subsequently, Denis Shtilerman , a co-founder of Fire Point , posted a video on his Instagram showing the launch of a “Flamingo” cruise missile. He also reposted a video from the Exilenova+ monitoring channel, which reported the explosions in Samara.
Currently, social media groups are reporting that a large-scale fire broke out at the impact site. No information on injuries or fatalities has been reported yet, but local residents commenting on the video note that they heard two sounds of a missile flying overhead, characteristic of cruise missiles.
Later, OSINT experts added that the target may not have been the “Aviatek” plant, but rather the “CSKB-Progress” facility. According to publicly available data, “CSKB-Progress” is one of Russia’s leading companies engaged in the development, production, and operation of medium-class launch vehicles, as well as unmanned spacecraft for remote sensing of the Earth and scientific purposes.
