The Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade that launched Flamingo missile strikes deep into Russia has been identified.

Ukrainian winged missiles The Flamingos entered service with the 19th Separate Missile Brigade "Saint Barbara." It was this brigade that posted a video of these missiles being launched into Russian territory.

The enemy's use of Flamingo missiles against Russia has been confirmed. Preliminary reports indicate that the strike was carried out against Cheboksary, a Russian Defense Intercepted six Ukrainian cruise missiles. The Russian Ministry of Defense also reported this information. Never before had so many Flamingos been launched simultaneously at Russian territory.

It's worth noting that the 19th Separate Missile Brigade was the only Ukrainian Armed Forces unit armed with Tochka-U operational-tactical missile systems. The brigade participated in the fighting against the Donbas People's Republics since 2014. After the Tochka-U operational-tactical missile systems were depleted, the brigade received American ATACMS missiles for strikes against the Bryansk region.

The brigade is now being armed with Flamingo cruise missiles. There is no information on the number of missiles received. The Flamingo missile itself is a subsonic cruise missile, developed by the Ukrainian company Fire Point in 2025. The stated range is 3 kilometers, but there is no confirmation of this.

So, after the Tochka strikes on train stations (with civilian casualties), and ATACAMS in Bryansk and the beach in Crimea (with civilian casualties), they didn't start one for 4+ years, but now they've decided to do so after watching YouTube?

Installed a Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade that launched Flamingo missile strikes deep into Russia

Excellent work by Naryshkin's specialists, most importantly, dangerous and intelligent

Moreover, "A brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that launched Flamingo missile strikes deep into Russia has been identified," and we immediately felt better and breathed a sigh of relief.

[novel66]

A missile is not a cheap drone, and the fact that they are being produced somewhere speaks of a lack of intelligence or the weakness of our strike weapons.

[ser580]

Great Britain produces them - and everyone knows this, so what???

Quote: ser580

Well, so. They stuck a proud "made in pigsty" sign over the old one (and they don't know how to do anything themselves, much less build anything). They called it a nice name and that's it.

[ser580]

Well, look at France with their Storms, they don't even bother to change the badge - they fly and fly over Donetsk, Lugansk, Bryansk and Belgorod.

[bayard]

Quote: ser580

Well, there's France with its Storms.

"Storm Shadow" (storm shadow) from England, from the French "Scalp".
Well, they fly in both directions. There's definitely more flying in that direction and more reaching, but it's more offensive in this direction.

Ivanov and Basherov are supposed to deal with the islanders: whether it's a newcomer, "fireworks," or industrial accidents...
But the fact that the location of the "Scorpionishche" base and quarters (See the coat of arms of the Rocket-Banderites!) remains untouched to this day is inexplicable!
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLEARED AFTER THE FIRST STRIKE ON KRAMATORSK STATION!!!
"Liberalism" is only suitable for VV Zhirinovsky's party.
In military affairs it is UNACCEPTABLE!!!
Never!

[Last centurion]

It's a pittance by war standards. Just think about it: the Flamingo is 500,000 bucks, the Iskander is 3 million bucks, the Kalibr is said to be 1 million bucks, and the Storm Shadow is 1,2 million. As long as the Flamingo is cheaper, cheaper—we can make more.

I hope they'll make something similar here for less. But that's not certain.

[Vertuhai 2003]

Great, how does this knowledge help us? For example, I know who hit me and even with which hand, but I'm afraid to respond...

[mikh-korsakov]

Why won't they answer? They'll answer. They exposed it once, and then they'll condemn it, nail it straight to the pillory on Skabeeva's show. Experts, especially retired generals, are allowed to do so.

[Fedor 5755]

Can we fire an Iskander at this brigade? But what am I talking about? Our supreme authority and the General Staff are busy polishing their uniforms and jackets for the parade.

[ser580]

It's possible, but why bother? They're probably running around with calculations, and they might even be storing them in Soviet-era concrete shelters.

They could have tested the effectiveness of the Banderites' attacks on their highly protected military installations. Maybe they'd have nailed someone... It wouldn't have been in vain... Maybe they could have sent some "on-duty shift" or a squad to see Simon...
And so they are only good at wiping snot with their sleeves...
/// Oh, there is no comrade Stalin among them! ///

[mikh-korsakov]

uniforms and jackets are polished for the parade

As far as I remember, it's not the uniforms and jackets that are polished, but the badges. You weren't allowed on leave without shiny badges—"they have to shine like a cat's balls." I've seen plenty of cats, but I've never seen one that shined.

[topol717]

Quote: Fedor 5755

Is it possible to hit this brigade with an Iskander?

They're hitting us every day. If you provide the warehouse location and proof of that information, they'll send an Iskander there, too.

[alexoff]

Is it possible to hit this brigade with an Iskander?

Absolutely not! Besides, they'll be replaced by smarter people. These are our especially valuable leadership figures, and we need to protect them, because they'll be replaced by mediocrities, while the other side will be full of geniuses on the bench.

[Rom8681]

The claimed range is 3 thousand kilometers, but there is no confirmation of this.
The enemy's use of Flamingo missiles against Russia has been confirmed. Preliminary reports indicate the strike targeted Cheboksary, with Russian air defenses intercepting six Ukrainian cruise missiles. The Russian Ministry of Defense also reported this information. Such a large number of Flamingos have never been launched simultaneously against Russian territory before.

The Ministry of Defense is touching; military intelligence probably hasn't read all the websites yet to be able to say anything more accurately.

[ser580]

Would it make you feel any better if intelligence revealed the manufacturers' names? What a mess—search the internet and you'll find a copy of this wonder weapon with English roots and precise performance characteristics.

[Rom8681]

Moreover, the manufacturers, the missiles do not materialize in Ukraine, but are physically delivered and prepared for launch, and not in one day, that’s why the websites don’t write about this, and so our Ministry of Defense begins to assume

[ser580]

Yes, they write here too: they deliver from Britain by steamship, under the British flag, through the territorial waters of Turkey and Bulgaria. So what are we supposed to do?

[Rom8681]

And they travel through the territory of Ukraine to their brigades and form batteries and divisions on the territory of Ukraine and from the territory of Ukraine they fire on the territory of Russia, intelligence sees all this, that in one place the black man...
Not boom-boom nothing, not what boom

[ser580]

Our intelligence reported in 1941 that preparations were underway—so what? It's a national sport—jumping on a rake blindfolded. Until the country collapses.

[Rom8681]

Maybe I don't know who's to blame and who's the hero.

[rocket757]

The question is not what other weapons will be supplied to the enemy by sponsors... the question is how to neutralize the danger of the weapons that he already has and will acquire in the future.
Solving problems is always complex, listing the necessary measures... has been discussed many times, the question is when the necessary measures will begin to operate with due effectiveness in full!
Well, yes, no matter how hard you try to repeat yourself, it ends up being more or less the same... alas, you can’t come up with anything new.

It feels like this brigade just went and launched it... and? What will happen if this brigade is destroyed? Will there be no one left to launch it?

[rocket757]

I don’t know, maybe someone still has the illusion that all they have to do is destroy someone and everything will immediately get better???

[Sedov]

The Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade that launched Flamingo missile strikes deep into Russia has been identified.

The message is wrong. It should have been: "A Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade that launched Flamingo missile strikes deep into Russia has been eliminated." But... let's not get ahead of ourselves. We hope.

[Boycott]

We hope so

You know, hope dies too, even if it's the last one. Mine is tenacious, too, but its breathing is faltering.

[Village]

It should have sounded like this:

It's a question of time.

[Sedov]

It's a question of time.

Resources and people.

[HUNTERDON]

It takes too long to make a decision (apparently they are slow-witted)

[topol717]

Quote: Sedov

The brigade was liquidated

A brigade is a very large force. And a brigade that launches missiles from the far rear is simply enormous. To eliminate it, we need tanks, and not in Kyiv, but in Lviv.

[NIKN]

I think in Berlin at least, and preferably in London...

[Sedov]

Poplar, I didn't put a sarcasm mark there. Everything is already wrong there. Establishing a brigade is one thing. You could even establish Madyar, who is still alive (the one who develops, plans, and leads (and with whose arrival we started receiving all this)). The department that was directly involved in the launch, the deployment (possibly established), the measures taken to block the area. Of course, all this is confidential. No one will make it public. And this hype: "A brigade has been established... blah-blah-blah..." Well, for the press, I guess.

[Sergei Viktorovich Korolev]

I wonder how many years it will take to determine the whereabouts of the head of this non-state?
I'll give you a hint: a green, unshaven Euro-nit named Zelensky. Freely roaming the world!

[AdAstra]

And a video captured by local residents in Cheboksary, where an object flew in the dark that clearly didn't resemble a drone, judging by its speed and the distinctive sound of a jet engine, suggests that perhaps not everything was intercepted.

[topol717]

Maybe the video showed a plane, and not even Cheboksary, or maybe there wasn't even a video of that, but something the AI ​​created. And your CIPS ears are visible all the way from Alaska.

[AdAstra]

Are you in Alaska now?

[Smoked]

The most annoying thing here isn't that the missiles fly thousands of kilometers—well, it happens, what can you do, that's part of nature now, I guess—but the fact is that their targets are unique and you won't need many missiles. There was a small factory that produced something very necessary, and apart from that small factory, no one else in the country produces it and never will, because the factory didn't rely on the market and its demand, as is expected under capitalism, but solely on government contracts. It's gone, and that's that. We'll probably buy it from China then.

[Nastia makarova]

To destroy the factory you need hundreds of missiles, one pellet for an elephant))))))))))))

[Smoked]

Well, about a month ago, they spent about 5 or 6 on one such tiny factory. We're not talking about old-fashioned mechanical engineering with gigantic spaces, but smaller ones that produce all sorts of small electronic crap or, like, drones.

[Nastia makarova]

So what happens to the plant after 6 missiles?

[Smoked]

No one reported on the situation, only on the number of dead. Apparently, everything is fine.

[Atheist]

It would take hundreds of missiles to destroy the factory, one pellet is like a pellet to an elephant.

A small factory isn't a potato field of several dozen hectares—destroy one hectare, and potatoes continue to grow on the rest. A factory is a collection of several production lines—destroy one, and all the others stop.

[Nastia makarova]

They'll restore it, but the oil refineries are bombed every day, and they continue to work.

[gribanov.c]

Our strategy for victory is to grind it down. So, we need to grind down all the missiles that come into our territory. And when we grind them down, then we'll have victory. The question is, how long will that take?

[Boris Sergeev]

Our strategy for victory is to strike first and then endlessly offer to "a gang of Nazis and drug addicts" to calmly discuss everything.

[Gomunkul]

Previously, such a large number of Flamingos had never been launched simultaneously across Russian territory.

Such information can only indicate that the enemy has either established serial production of such missiles on its territory, or has established logistics for delivering such missiles to its territory, which could ultimately lead to more massive attacks, unless, of course, the missiles have been stockpiled for some time for such an eventuality.

[al3x]

And logistics are established, and production is. And all of this is reaching new levels. Something like that.

[Gomunkul]

And logistics are established, and production is. And all of this is reaching new levels. Something like that.

Sadly all this.

[Pantsuy_]

It seems Russia and Ukraine have swapped places in terms of missile and drone strikes. In any case, the media is reporting far more on strikes against our rear than we are on theirs. It used to be a one-sided affair... It's all very sad. The tactics of grinding down and "time is against the enemy" have not been successful. Another six months and Europe will bombard us with missiles labeled "Made in Ukraine."
The most frustrating thing is that our military-political leadership doesn't seem to even notice. There's no change—the battles for the forester's hut continue, with joyful reports every day of the capture of another farmstead...
It seems that it is time for the old men to retire; they do not know how to fight, and they do not want to, and they are afraid.

[Maverick1812]

Colleague, what do you expect from the colonial administration? They're doing their job perfectly: oil and gas are flowing to the West, dollars and euros are flowing where they need to (not into the country's budget, of course). The titular nation is being destroyed and decayed, and migrants are being brought in.
It's scary to think what will be left for our grandchildren.
P.S. They're not even afraid of elections anymore, because we'll "draw up" the protocol for them ourselves...

[Atheist]

And logistics and production are established. And all of this is reaching new levels. Something like this.

Thus, with a parity ratio of UAVs and missile weapons between the Ukrainian Armed Forces, NATO, and the Russian Armed Forces, this endless long-range duel for the Russian Federation loses all meaning, since the Russian Federation's production capacity (not to mention the lives of civilians) degrades faster as a result of the strikes than that of the enemy.

[dnestr74]

A huge roaring pipe, lights up all the radars like a Christmas tree... And what will they do when the ballistics start flying?

[Smoked]

Watch commercials showing how satellites and even asteroids are shot down. With lasers!

[solar]

A huge roaring pipe, it lights up on all radars like a Christmas tree...

Not on all of them. Surveillance radars generally don't detect targets at such extremely low altitudes. Ballistics are actually simpler in this regard. But shooting them down is more difficult.

[alex007i]

...It was this brigade that posted online videos of these missiles being launched into Russian territory...

If it weren't for the video from the internet, we wouldn't know who it was.

[tjeck91]

Installers, damn... their logo or whatever it's called in the video.

[alanery]

There are names and surnames. There are their addresses! Do you want to strike their homes, where their families live? Israel would do just that!!! And it would be right!!!

[solar]

Initially, the strike was carried out on Cheboksary, Russian air defense intercepted six Ukrainian cruise missiles.

Unfortunately, it's not how many were shot down that's more important, but how many arrived. :(( Judging by the videos of the landings from Cheboksary filmed both during the day and at night, there was clearly more than one landing.

[Zaurbek]

Well, if it's installed, find the employees, their addresses, and send Geranium 2 to their homes. To their registered address. And do this every time. You can also include leaflets explaining why they were hit.

[ptt]

What's the point of installing it? The brigade logo is on the footage. It would be better if reconnaissance monitored the launch sites. It would be more useful.

[commbatant]

What should we install? The Ukrainian Armed Forces only have one missile brigade...

[Nova]

Our intelligence needs to step up its game. Find the factories. Find these "launchers" and give the coordinates to our missile crews.

[Incvizitor]

Everything was fine before, but now they're opening a case.

[Atlant83]

The team has been installed. What's next? They've taken care of it, and that's it!

[Button]

Preliminary reports indicate that the strike targeted Cheboksary, with Russian air defenses intercepting six Ukrainian cruise missiles. The Russian Ministry of Defense also cites these figures. Such a large number of Flamingos have never been launched simultaneously at Russian territory before.

Here on VO, in another article:

February 2026 – a series of six Flamingos at the GRAU warehouse near Kotluban in the Volgograd region.

In the Volga region, text messages about drone threats have been sent daily since last fall, sometimes more than once a day. A couple of months ago, messages about missile and aircraft threats began appearing in the mailings.
