The Flamingo missile should become a mass weapon capable of regularly striking targets deep inside Russia, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Flamingo should become a mass "bird"
The president said the Ukrainian missile should be launched against Russia as often as possible.
"Flamingos should not be a rare species, but a mass bird. They should winter in Russia," Zelenskyy said.
Ukraine's defense industry achievements
The head of state spoke about what Ukrainian weapons have achieved during the years of war. According to him:
- Ground robotic systems carry out extremely dangerous missions on the battlefield and have already saved thousands of soldiers;
- Naval drones are turning the enemy's fleet into scrap metal;
- Long-range weapons are disrupting Russia's logistics and cutting into its revenues.
"Our defense industry is truly a giant today, working 24/7 to strengthen our independence. And we must do more," Zelenskyy said.
He added that Ukrainian forces had already carried out long-range strikes on Moscow, Tuapse, Tula, Ryazan, Olenya, Omsk and dozens of other locations in Russia.
"Russia must see more of this kind of justice," the president stressed.
Zelenskyy thanked everyone who has spent the past four years working in production and developing Ukraine's defense industry.
"This is our pride. But it does not blind us. We see what Putin is doing and what he wants," he said.
According to the president, a solution must be found to counter the Kremlin chief's ballistic terror, and Russia's strategy of using such attacks must not succeed.
Meanwhile, overnight on August 24, drones attacked two major Ozon logistics centers in Russia in Adygea and the Stavropol region.
The two facilities have a combined area of nearly 185,000 square meters.
A massive overnight drone attack also caused a fire at a large building materials warehouse in Krasnodar covering around 9,000 square meters.
According to preliminary data, the damage may have been caused by electronic warfare systems or the interception of a drone, while the facility itself may have had a dual-use purpose.
