"Satellite imagery reveals Russia installed a large anti-drone cage over the VNIIR Progress factory in Cheboksary, over 900 km from the front line. The factory produces navigation components for Russian weapons including Shahed-136 drones and Kalibr missiles. Ukraine struck the facility using its new FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile with a range exceeding 2,800 km and a warhead over one ton. The cage, designed against drones, proved ineffective against the missile. This highlights the erosion of Russia's strategic depth and the success of Ukraine's deep-strike campaign."
