Ukrainian defence forces used a range of domestically named long-range weapons, including Flamingo, Palianytsia and Pelican, in an overnight attack on Russia’s Moscow region, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy said the operation struck one of Russia’s key oil-industry plants and a logistics facility in the region. He also reported a strike on an unspecified facility in Voronezh Oblast, without providing further details. The reported effects and targets were not independently verified in the supplied source.
Mixed long-range weapon package
According to Zelenskyy, the forces used FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen and Pelican systems. His statement described the operation as involving the Security Service of Ukraine, Unmanned Systems Forces, Special Operations Forces, Defence Intelligence of Ukraine and the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine.
Earlier reports cited a large-scale drone attack over Moscow and Moscow Oblast, with fires reported at the Sofyino logistics technopark and the Moscow Oil Refinery in the Kapotnya district. The refinery fire was reported to have followed a drone attack, and a strike was said to have affected its AVT-6 unit. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the capital had faced its largest drone attack to date.
The account identifies a broad set of Ukrainian long-range platforms used alongside unmanned systems, but does not specify the number of aircraft or munitions involved, their individual roles, or the extent of damage at the reported sites.
