On the night of November 13, Ukrainian weapons struck many important targets in Russia and the occupied territories. Flamingo missiles, Bars, and Liutyi drones were used in the attack, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In the temporarily occupied part of Crimea, strikes were recorded on the Morskoy Neftyanoy Terminal oil storage facility, a helicopter parking lot, and drone storage and preparation sites at the Kirovskoye airfield, as well as on an air defense radar station in the Yevpatoria area.
In the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region, an oil depot in the Berdiansk area and the forward command posts of the 5th Combined Arms Army and the 127th Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian occupation forces were hit.
In addition, strikes were carried out on targets already on Russia's territory. The extent of the damage caused is currently being clarified.
Ukraine's General Staff emphasizes that the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to systematically fire on targets involved in supporting the Russian army.
"Strike drones, jet drones, and various types of missiles are being used to deliver complex strikes. Last night, many long-range weapons were launched, including the domestically developed Flamingo, Bars, and Liutyi," the statement says.
Ukrainian weapons
In May, the media reported that Ukraine had asked the German Ministry of Defense to finance the production of long-range drones of the Bars and An-196 Liutyi types, as well as Flamingo missiles. Berlin supported this initiative, with around €400 million earmarked for the project.
Ukraine and Germany also signed an agreement to finance the production of Ukrainian long-range weapons worth €5 billion.
In August, it became known that Ukraine had begun serial production of Flamingo cruise missiles with a range of up to 3,000 kilometers.
On August 31, information appeared that these missiles had struck Russian targets in the temporarily occupied Crimea, in particular a border guard base subordinate to the FSB of Russia. After that, Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal stated that this was a mighty weapon.
