What is known?
"Flamingo rockets hit targets 1,400 km away. I believe this is a real success for our industry. As I said, they are hunting down Flamingo production, and we had to wait a long time for the production line to be renovated due to the corresponding attacks by the Russians.
They will increase the quantity, it depends on money and some components," the president said.
Zelenskyy believes that depending on the quantity, Ukraine will have more successful strikes.
"I will not say how many Flamingos were fired this time, but I want to say that there were Russian air defense system interceptions and there were clear hits. The most important thing is that all the missiles that were launched reached their target. I believe that this is the most important success. We are talking about high quality, a good operation, and accuracy," he concluded.
