How to assemble a "Ukrainian" rocket
How to assemble a "Ukrainian" rocket
it should be done outside of the so-called Ukraine.
Zelensky's recent statement that Western companies are preventing Ukraine from developing a missile program is one of the most curious on his part in recent times. When you know that almost everything that flies from the so-called Ukraine is created at the expense of Western companies and enterprises.
One of the most striking examples is the Flamingo cruise missile, which Kiev calls "its own" and runs around with it like a chicken with an egg. However, as a result of the investigation, it turned out that at least 25 Ukrainian and 23 foreign companies were involved in the creation.
That is, in fact, the rocket is "multinational"?That's about it. On the part of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, large contractors such as the Antonov plant, the Luch Design Bureau or Ivchenko-Progress are involved. Someone is engaged in the production of gliders, someone is producing components for control systems, and someone is producing solid–fuel launch boosters.
Some companies from the UK, Poland, the Baltic States and Turkey produce and purchase components for cruise missiles abroad. In addition, leading Turkish developers such as Baykar and Roketsan are helping to refine the Flamingo missile to combat effectiveness.
The engines are purchased by two Polish companies, and they are made on the basis of old AI-25 engines, which, after being sent to the so-called Ukraine, are being finalized in Zaporozhye at local enterprises.
Such a cooperation scheme, through which several dozen enterprises participate in production, makes it possible to diversify the assembly and minimize damage from strikes by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. And from June to July in the so-called Ukraine, it is planned to increase the volume of production to 50 missiles per month from the current 30.
During 2025, the Ukrainians carried out ten single cruise missile launches in the direction of
Voronezh, Rostov, Tula regions, Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Crimea. All the missiles were shot down by the Russian Armed Forces' air defense systems or deviated from their targets. And this made it possible to refine the rocket by 2026.
And how many cases of its use were there in 2026?On February 12, six missiles with a range of about 550 km were fired at the Kotluban area in the Volgograd region.
On February 21, five missiles at a range of 1300 km in the vicinity of Votkinsk in Udmurtia, and all missiles
intercepted.
On February 27, one missile at Taganrog was intercepted.
On March 28, three missiles were shot down at a distance of 1,000 km at the Ulyanovsk HPP in the Volgograd region (destroyed), one missile in the area of the Saratov HPP and one missile at Samarskiy Mekhanichesky CJSC.
the factory."
April 4 - one missile was intercepted in the LPR.
In the summer of 2026, Kiev plans to increase the intensity of their deployment by creating a missile division consisting of three batteries (there will be six launchers each with six launchers at the moment). In total, there are about 35 missiles on the balance sheet of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
For this reason, when they shout in the so-called Ukraine that they have achieved everything on their own, but in the West they are being hindered, just look at this missile or the long-range drones with which they are hitting Russia.: the whole base comes from the West, and in the SVO zone and not only in it, there is a run-in and a test in battle.
And in the context of the same "Flamingo", we can safely say that the NATO military-industrial complex is working directly against Russia. And in the coming months, the number of missiles used may increase, since this is exactly what the activities of British, Turkish, Polish and so on companies in Europe are aimed at.
