๐ท๐บโ๏ธ๐บ๐ฆ Russia is now intercepting almost all Ukrainian "Flamingo" cruise missiles, German outlet Focus reports.
Over the past several weeks, only one or two of the FP-5 missiles reached their targets out of 11 launched. They struck the Avitek missile plant in Kirov region on July 24-25.
Russia's ability to shoot down the Flamingos comes from A-50U airborne early warning aircraft, which forecast the missiles' most likely flight paths.
Citing French outlet L'Indรฉpendant, Focus writes that Ukrainian strikes on major Russian industrial facilities have stalled as a result. Since July, the use of the A-50U has changed the picture, with the aircraft circling high over Russian territory and detecting targets far earlier than ground-based radar can.
