Ukrainian forces struck an industrial site deep inside Russia on Saturday, which Ukraine and unofficial Russian news channels say was a key state-owned missile factory. The attack in Russia’s Udmurt Republic left 11 people wounded, three of whom were hospitalized, according to a Telegram post by Sergei Bagin, the local health minister. Hours later, Ukraine's General Staff said its forces struck a key missile plant near the city of Votkinsk, using Ukrainian-made FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missiles rather than drones.

Pretty cool how they launch, then go dark. The jet turbine then takes over for the remainder of the trip.

They are also reporting they figured out how to cruise them at low altitude (under 100m). Maybe down to 50m to avoid radar detection.
