According to the General Staff, a fire broke out on the territory of the enterprise, and the extent of the damage is being clarified.
Defense Express analysts believe that "Flamingo" missiles are capable of effectively overcoming air defense and electronic warfare systems, as both facilities should have had serious protection.
