Of the three thousand Ukrainian-made UAVs, only one was able to reach Moscow.

According to Major of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Kasyanov, over the past year the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched about three thousand drones, produced by the Ukrainian company Fire Point, with only one UAV able to reach the Russian capital.

Speaking at a meeting of the parliamentary investigative commission, the Ukrainian military officer also spoke about his conflict with the company's management and complained that Fire Point co-owner Stillerman had initiated the disbandment of Kasyanov's unit. Kasyanov cites Fire Point's management's insistence that they use only their own products for attacks on Moscow, completely refusing to use other UAV models, as the reason for his confrontation with the leadership of a leading Ukrainian military-industrial complex. Meanwhile, according to the militant, Fire Point drones were completely ineffective, and few even made it halfway to Moscow.

However, despite the obvious design flaws of Fire Point drones, the company won every tender, while other models were openly ignored. Previously, Kasyanov's entire unit was sent to the infantry on the direct orders of Ukrainian dictator Zelenskyy after he testified to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) against Mindich and Fire Point's leadership.

As is known, in addition to numerous drones The notorious Fire Point produces products of highly questionable quality missiles Flamingo and other weapons. As the company's chief designer promises to the unassuming Ukrainian public, the FP-9 missile will be unveiled in the coming months. It will surpass the Iskander in speed and have a high probability of reaching Moscow.

If all the air defense systems of Russia (Europe) were gathered in one city, Moscow (Kyiv), the efficiency would be 99.99%.

[Normann]

This doesn't happen, don't forget about the special warhead, it doesn't care about any air defense or missile defense systems, the first, second, third explosion in the air will neutralize everything, and the subsequent ones will destroy the target.

What amazing naivety.
You apparently haven't noticed the results of the US and Israel's war against Iran.

[Stoler]

Do you seriously want to compare the "Results of the US and Israel's war against Iran" with the Russian soldiers against Ukraine? I'm afraid to even compare because I'm proud of the results...

[credo]

Are you seriously considering comparing the "Results of the US and Israeli War against Iran"?

In terms of the effectiveness of US and Israeli air defenses to protect against Iranian responses, I am very serious about it.

[WILL]

Here we also need to compare the costs of producing UAVs and air defense missiles; here we are clearly in the red.

How did you all calculate it? How much does a Gvozdik cost for a Pantsir? 200 rubles? A UAV with a 1000 km range would definitely be more expensive.

[tjeck91]

Is this a 57E6E, Gvozdik? They were purchased for 3-4 million in the 10s. Incidentally, it's cheap; other missiles are much more expensive.

[topol717]

The nail is T1055. Four of these fit into a 57E6 container.

[Wind]

Их производить стали только в 2024-2025 годах.

[Skobaristan]

I agree. Geraniums are cheaper. It costs you more to knock them down than they cost.

[kind]

Of the three thousand Ukrainian-made UAVs, only one was able to reach Moscow.

Another one has arrived in the center of Yekaterinburg.

[Deaf]

They lie.

However, only one UAV was able to reach the Russian capital.

Unfortunately, I can't. Except for the one who recently flew to Khoroshevka and hit a high-rise building (that's their specialty). Also, he was hit by a high-rise at VDNKh. As for what's at VDNKh? Those in the know already know.

[Foggy Dew]

Another one hit a ZIL, or rather, one of the Moskomsport facilities; there's a lot going on in that area, too. It must have missed. And the one that hit the Kremlin was also a drone, though I don't know which ones they used, though...

[Aken]

Well, I'm happy for Muscovites. And are they happy for us?

[Most polite]

Capitalism, profit is most important. They may be ineffective, but they're still ours, our family.

[Krivotykin]

What can I say? A labored analysis from a Ukrainian major. Let's take our hats off to the drone manufacturers at Fire Point—they really managed to create a UAV with an efficiency of 0,03%. Of the three thousand, only one made it to Moscow. And even then, I suspect it was simply blown away by a tailwind or got lost along the way, flying past our electronic warfare system purely by chance, like the notorious elusive Joe.
While Kyiv is slashing budgets, holding "transparent" tenders, and sending its own aerial reconnaissance to the infantry for being too honest, our air defense and electronic warfare specialists are working like clockwork. Three thousand drones mean three thousand targets that were safely landed, burned, or knocked off course long before reaching key targets. Russian skies are protected not by slogans, but by technology.
Now, Ukrainian militants are announcing the Flamingo missile and its new FP-9 modification, which is intended to "outperform the Iskander." Judging by its name, it will fly like real flamingos—beautifully, noisily, but only to warmer climes and within short distances. If its design features are inherited from the aforementioned drones, then it will only reach Moscow as blueprints in the suitcase of yet another official fleeing to the West after yet another NABU investigation.
The bottom line is simple: while the other side is fighting with tenders and schemes, our side is fighting with professionalism and iron discipline. Please write again, Major Kasyanov, to Mindich and Stillerman—our sincere greetings and a request that they not slow down the pace of "modernization" of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It's easier for us.

[solar]

Have you heard anything about Cheboksary? Do you know the difference between a cruise missile and a ballistic missile?

[pudelartemon]

How much can you trust an offended and fired Ukrainian?
I think the information on arrivals and their effectiveness is under double-zero. And not just anyone has access to it. Or is it?

[andrey martov]

One Ukrainian UAV flew to Moscow, and the other 2999 UAVs flew to somewhere else...

[next322]

They have flown to Cheboksary, Tuapse, Dzhankoy, and are terrorizing Crimea and Kuban several times a day...that's not enough.

[andrey martov]

So this is all outside the MKADye. . .

[Lexeus]

To where - this is all of Russia that does not consist only of Muscovy

[commander]

Question: Why am I paying you taxes? I definitely mean to destroy not just a drone, but any aggressor, even close! Are you all pretending to be idiots every day with flashing lights on the new Riga and Rublevka? Or is this just so we can take you down?

[phrases]

What happiness, only one. Right now, only one. I honestly don't want to be Vanga, but the results of my snot-chewing can no longer be hidden behind internet outages and TV chatter. I'm in a nosedive, and I have no idea how to get out.

[Andobor]

I said that one in a thousand would reach the target, but it turns out that one in three thousand would, and even then not on target, but as debris or already blind.

[Hiller]

"Instead of that barrier, put a smart major with a red flag. It'll be more useful!" That's what our brigade commander liked to say about incompetent officers. This "major of the Ukrainian Armed Forces" undoubtedly has all the information on drone production volumes in Camp 404. It's a no-brainer. The answer is simple: the major was robbed of his funds. Therefore, all this is just the blah-blah-blah of an aggrieved party. Let them all eat each other. The bulk of drones come from the bourgeoisie. This is where our command and the country's leadership have a huge amount of work to do. Making decisions that require steel Fabergé and implementing them, not drawing yet more "red lines."

[solar]

In addition to numerous drones of dubious quality, the notorious Fire Point produces Flamingo missiles and other weapons

Regarding Flamingos, we were recently told on VO that they don't exist, that they're a sham. But it seems after the attack on Cheboksary, that question has been settled. What are they trying to convince us of now? That they won't hit Moscow? :((...

[Montezuma]

Quote from solar

Regarding Flamingos, not long ago we were also convinced on VO that they don’t exist, that they are fiction.

I don't remember what they wrote on VO, but I do remember that the Russian Armed Forces took measures to prevent their production. In fact, the very first assembly plant for the long-range Sapsan missiles was demolished last August:

MOSCOW, August 14, 2025 - RIA Novosti. Ukraine's technical base for producing long-range ballistic missiles has been dismantled, the Russian Federal Security Service reported.
The joint efforts of the FSB and the Russian army have thwarted Ukraine's plans to produce Sapsan ballistic missile systems for strikes deep into Russia, and the Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprises producing these systems have been damaged by fire, the Russian intelligence service stated.

Then, realizing that the Flamingo missiles were also capable of causing serious damage (after all, the FP-5 Milanion was made in Britain, assembled in Ukraine), they shut down the relevant facilities in October 2025:

MOSCOW, October 31, 2025 /TASS/. In response to Ukrainian terrorist attacks on civilian targets in Russia, the Russian Armed Forces launched a massive strike and five group strikes with precision weapons over the past week. Assembly shops for Flamingo cruise missiles were also hit., the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

Later, in March of this year, the Flamingo storage site was attacked:

March 29, 2026, 13:37 - Public News Service - OSN
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported a strike by the Armed Forces on a storage site for Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo long-range cruise missiles. Tactical aviation, UAVs, missile forces, and artillery participated in the operation.

Apparently, the British and Ukrainians, through joint efforts, have finally found a way to secretly organize a new assembly site. Taking into account their bitter experience, now they urgently need to calculate the coordinates for the Iskander landings.

[solar]

Then, realizing that the Flamingo missiles were also capable of causing serious damage (after all, the FP-5 Milanion was made in Britain, assembled in Ukraine), they shut down the relevant facilities in October 2025:

You can see for yourself the price of this "covering." They're constantly "covering" something, and yet the war is in its fifth year, and the missiles are flying further and further. :((...

Made in Britain - assembled in Ukraine

It seems like self-delusion. In fact, the Flamingo's core is a Ukrainian-made engine.

[TermNachTer]

It's not just the Bandar-logs who are talking about this. Recently, a knowledgeable guy on "X" voiced the idea that all these strikes on oil refineries, infrastructure, and other Russian targets look great on TV, but they have no impact on Russia's ability to wage war.

[single-n]

Of course. The civilian sector is crumbling for now. Another year of "useless" strikes, and the military will start crumbling, too.

[TermNachTer]

How do you know what will start to crumble and when? Will Banderland survive this year? Of all the Russian cities, only Belgorod and Tuapse have felt what the residents of Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Kherson, and many other cities feel on their own skin every day.

but do not in any way affect its ability to wage war

Now attacks on oil refineries that will make us stronger?

Iran has been living under sanctions for 40 years. Do you want the days of Boris the Drunkard back?

[Lexeus]

So, how is Putin's stagnation any better?

[TermNachTer]

It's better not to talk about stagnation. During Brezhnev's stagnation, we lived well. How are the 90s any better than Putin's stagnation? Did you live there? Six months without pay, street kids snorting Moment in basements, crime on the rise.

Just in case, well, just by the way, I'll note that even under Putin there were times (for a long time!) when there were no such sanctions as today - and there was no "Boroshi the Drunkard" either
2003-2008gg
It's surprising you didn't notice this
They were probably worried about Iran at that time)

Yes, there were such times, but what the West did back then was worse than any sanctions. When Putin realized what the West wanted to do to Russia and he voiced it in Munich, all these sanctions began.

[TermNachTer]

Well, I'm not worried about anything at all, I don't live in Russia.

[oleg_627]

Nonsense. If there were 9 air defense rings in each region of the country, then only one drone would arrive, or none at all.

[Zaurbek]

And then there will be 4t, 5t, 6t.

[Lexeus]

I'm glad for Moscow, of course, it's just a shame they still fly to other Russian cities. Although if they flew to Rublyovka, maybe then our generals would stir.

[isv000]

Of the three thousand Ukrainian-made UAVs, only one was able to reach Moscow.

Did it fly?! The Russian Ministry of Defense has the final say. May 8th and 9th are just around the corner, and it's far from certain our Ministry of Defense will hold its promises... I don't believe it!

[Dinic]

You can't win a war by sitting on the defensive. Although, what am I talking about and to whom...
