Satellite BDA confirms two FP-5 Flamingo craters at Samara Progress rocket factory

Published · updated

Ukrainian channel Victory Drones published satellite imagery of the 15 August strike on the Samara Progress Rocket and Space Centre, showing two impact craters in a production workshop from FP-5 Flamingo missiles. The facility manufactures Soyuz rockets including vehicles slated to orbit Buro-1440 satellite-internet payloads — Russia’s emerging Starlink analogue. Ukrainian analysts assess continued strikes on the site are likely, framing suppression of Russian orbital internet capacity as a priority target given its potential to underpin drone operations.
