Ukraine’s cruise missile hits Russian defense plant in Kirov

Ukraine's Flamingo cruise missile struck the Avitek defense plant in Kirov early Friday morning. This facility produces anti-aircraft missiles and ejection seats for Russian fighter pilots. Additionally, images circulating on Telegram provide potential physical proof that a Dutch-built Ruta Block 1 cruise missile was used in the combat operation. The wreckage, consisting of a scorched tail section, suggests the deployment of this specific technology by Ukrainian forces deep inside Russian territory during the attack.
