Ukraine strikes Titan-Barrikady plant in Volgograd
A great shot of a Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile heading to Russia's Titan-Barrikady missile plant to exchange missile engineering experience.
"exchange missile engineering experience" got me :D
‘to exchange missile engineering experience’ 🇺🇦😂🇪🇺 Just bringing them up to date… 🇺🇦🤭🇪🇺
"FP-5 Flamingo missiles successfully struck the Titan-Barrikady facility," Zelensky said. Volgograd Oblast Governor Andrey Bocharov confirmed that Ukrainian #high-speed aerial targets struck the city overnight. 😰 kyivindependent.com/ukraine-repo...
Titan-Barrikady turned into Dwarf-Gaping hole.
Let us rain steel on Russia #SlavaUkraine
Ukrainian Flamingo missiles hit the Titan-Barricade factory in Volgograd, indicating rising military tensions. Posted by Astra. Local residents felt the tremors of the night strike, with fires blazing and a factory that symbolizes Russia's defense secretiveness now in peril. 1/4
Smoke was seen rising from the Titan-Barricade military factory in Volgograd following a nighttime attack by Ukrainian forces using Flamingo missiles. Residents reported vivid explosions and fires during the event on June 27. Confirmed by ASTRA OSINT analysts, the smoke originated from a produ
AMAZING UKRAINE NEVER TARGETS RUSSIAN HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, AND CITIZENS Never, it's not Ukraine Ukrainians are a breed of warriors. Sisu, Honor They know loss They remember Mariupol So should we all
hmm … maybe not so secretive after all.
Is there a higher tension than one country invading another and torturing civilians to death? Remember Bucha? Civilian's hands tied behind back, shot in the head, dumped in a silo? Woman BURIED FUCKING alive, gas mask with smoking embers in canister, attached to her face? That tense enough?
Three one-ton warheads will ruin any factory manager’s day. Slava Ukraini.
I can’t wait for Ukraine to be at peace again. We are at the ramping up stage of the hockey stick curve. It’s exponential.
⚡️Ukraine reportedly strikes Russian military plant in Volgograd. A Ukrainian missile strike reportedly targeted a Russian military facility in the city of Volgograd overnight on June 27, according to Russian independent outlet Astra.
Demilitarizing Russia, 81 years late
3 or 4 Flamingo missiles according to local videos. Amazing and good news - amazing because the Flamingo is so vulnerable to air defense (of which there appeared to be none), good news because each Flamingo packs a terrible huge BOOM. Another critical factory damaged or put out of commission!
Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦 Burn Baby Burn! 🇺🇸
Ukrainian Flamingo missiles hit the key Titan-Barrikady plant in Volgograd overnight, according to Ukraine’s Defence Minister Fedorov Mykhailo. The plant produces launchers for Iskander missiles. #explodey 1/2
Ukraine also hit air defences in occupied Crimea, the Petropavlovsk ferry at Kerch used for military supplies and command posts and drone control points across the Kharkiv, Belgorod and Zaporizhzhia. 2/2
Russian milbloggers used to laugh at our missiles assembled “in the garages using whatever you have on hand.” They don't laugh anymore.
Southampton University professir Christian Enemark about to jump on some news website and write how this is a warcrime, how Ukraine should not do this and, actually, drones are bad and Ukraine should defend itself only on its territory, that ordinary russians are victims too and its just putin.
Flamingo seems to be successful, I hope the Flamingo Revolution is too. Albania
Oh dear.. occupied Crimea has gone very dark & very #explodey 👍
Good. We are All a bit safer now. Kaliningrad has Iskanders and I'm sure they have Nuclear Warheads.
🧵If Ukraine struck 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 part of the Barrikady factory complex, it is significant. This morning's FP-5 'Flamingo' strike on the JSC "FNVTS 'Titan-Barrikady' plant in Volgograd highlights a critical vulnerability in Russia’s supply chain for its long-range missile capabilities. 1/11
While Titan-Barrikady is recognised for assembling mobile launch systems for Iskander-M, Yars and Topol-M complexes, its operational capacity depends heavily on specialised metallurgical components supplied by the adjacent Krasny Oktyabr (Red October) plant. 2/11
As usual excellence in Research & Analysis. You guys ROCK 🤘
Excellent writing on top of very interesting insights.
As long as the companies providing the machinery abide by the sanctions against russia for invading Ukraine the factory should stop producing weapons.

Thread on the Volgograd weapons factory complex that Ukraine hit with Flamingos early this morning—what it makes and how important it is
If #Ukraine hit the essential part of this factory - we’re waiting for confirmation - it would be a significant blow to the Russian long range capability. Being just 1 of 2 such facilities in all of #Russia, and spare parts impossible to acquire, production capacity would be permanently reduced.
Ukraine's growing ability to dismantle Russia's capacity to wage war puts the strategic initiative in their court. Hopefully, they can make a significant enough impact in the next 2 months to bring the war closer to an end.
Now a closer view of that strike. We know this is the Titan-Barikadi plant, in Volgograd, which used to be called Stalingrad & Putin says he may rename it such. Here they (used to) make launchers, artillery systems and components for various missile systems. #UkraineSanctions
There's a saying about red sky in the morning not been great news. What about pink skies? It's incredible - no alarms, no air defence, just locals woken up at 4am by Ukraine's alarms. But the population is safe, all missiles head for the plant in Volgograd, not tower blocks!
‘Used to’ are the operative words. 🤗
Now that's a big boom!
Based on the graphic (and open sources), the most "successful" attack using FP-5 Flamingo missiles has been against the Titan-Barrikady plant.
Number and accuracy of UKR missiles and drones going up, number of available RU AD systems going down. Looks like a death spiral to me.
In terms of hits, certainly. But it is a massive plant, and we have no idea what was destroyed... In many other attacks, we have no idea either how much damage was inflicted and what the consequences are for the Russian military industry too.
from the footage it looks big and slow, makes sense that many are intercepted
I haven't really been following closely since the missile was announced. I had high hopes, but the strike rate doesn't seem good. Is that the general impression, or am I off? Of course, new systems can improve with use, but so do countermeasures.
I think the important part is its impact. Many of the light weight drones basically explode on the rooftop, Flamingo actually detonates inside the building.
