Ukraine's Flamingo missile destroys sole Russian ejection seat factory 1,200 km away
Ukraine struck the Avitek factory, the only serial producer of ejection seats for all Russian fighter and attack aircraft, using a Flamingo missile from 1,200 km away.
Ukraine has carried out a long-range strike against Russian military aviation infrastructure. Using a Flamingo missile, the Avitek factory was destroyed. The plant is located 1,200 kilometers from Ukrainian territory and was the only Russian factory that serially produces ejection seats for all fighters and attack aircraft in the Russian fleet. The loss of this plant cripples Russia's ability to replace damaged seats or equip new aircraft, directly impacting pilot safety. Details of the exact date and extent of damage have not been disclosed. The strike demonstrates Ukraine's capability to hit targets deep inside Russia.
