🦩 Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Progress Rocket and Space Centre in Samara with FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missiles — Russia’s only serial production facility for Soyuz-2 launch vehicles. The strike reportedly hit Building 106A, where critical onboard electronics, control systems and wiring, essentially the rocket’s “nervous system”, are assembled.... There is no backup for Progress in Russia. Soyuz-2 launch vehicles put Russian military satellites into orbit, including reconnaissance and targeting systems, as well as satellites for Russia’s “Rassvet” satellite internet network. And this is not a quick repair job. A fire inside a high-cleanliness production area means decontamination, requalification of clean zones, process recertification and repeated quality controls. Restoring production could take months, not weeks.show more

🎯🦩🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine’s Flamingo cruise missiles penetrated more than 800 km into Russia this morning, with two missiles reaching their target area in Samara despite an extensive Russian interception effort. Five Flamingo FP-5 cruise missiles were launched in the operation. One was intercepted over Voronezh region and two over Saratov, while two successfully reached Samara, roughly 810 km from the Ukrainian border. The target was the Progress Rocket and Space Center, a key facility producing Soyuz-2 launch vehicles, including the Soyuz-2.1b used to place Russian satellites into orbit. Russia reportedly scrambled four A-50U AWACS aircraft, alongside tactical aviation, to support the interception effort

🇺🇦🎯🇷🇺 Russia itself has now confirmed Ukraine’s successful missile strike on a major industrial facility in Samara, where the Progress Rocket and Space Center was hit deep inside Russian territory. Samara Oblast Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev acknowledged the strike and urged residents not to publish footage of the aftermath, saying emergency services were working at the site and information on damage and casualties was still being assessed. A fire continues at the TsSKB-Progress complex, with Ukrainian assessments indicating that the strike hit a key production area. The facility belongs to Roscosmos and produces Soyuz-2 launch vehicles and critical electronics, giving the attack significance well beyond ordinary industrial damage. Ukraine says domestically produced Flamingo cruise missiles were used in the operation. The Russian confirmation makes the strike particularly significant. Ukraine is demonstrating that its domestically produced long-range weapons can penetrate Russian defenses and reach specialized strategic-industrial facilities hundreds of kilometers from the border. For Moscow, every successful Flamingo strike creates another problem that geography can no longer solve: Russia must now stretch scarce air-defense assets across an enormous network of factories, airfields and energy infrastructure deep in its rear.

🚨🇷🇺🚀 Russia is accelerating ballistic missile production as Ukraine faces a growing shortage of air defense interceptors. The widening imbalance threatens to increase pressure on Ukrainian cities in the months ahead. According to Ukrainian military intelligence, Russia is currently producing around 120 ballistic missiles per month, including Iskander-M and Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missiles, in addition to 20-25 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles. Moscow is also reportedly expanding its arsenal with KN-23 ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea. The assessment suggests that the Kremlin is increasingly betting on a strategy of attrition, seeking to intensify large-scale missile strikes while Ukraine waits for additional Western air defense interceptors, the development of its own anti-ballistic systems, and the serial production of domestically manufactured ballistic missiles. According to the report, many Ukrainian Patriot launchers are currently without interceptor missiles, with both PAC-2 and PAC-3 launch canisters reportedly standing empty. As a result, Russia’s growing ballistic missile arsenal is expected to remain one of the most serious threats to Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, as well as to the country’s critical infrastructure, in the coming months. The combination of rising Russian missile production and limited interceptor availability is shaping one of the most critical challenges for Ukraine’s air defense as the war enters a new phase of long-range strikes.

‼️ Russia is accelerating its own “Starlink.” And that’s not the only bad news for Ukraine Russia is rolling out its low-Earth-orbit satellite network, Rassvet, much faster than expected. According to Ukraine’s military intelligence, 16 satellites are currently in orbit. In just a year, that number is expected to reach 292. If Moscow succeeds in building its own alternative to Starlink, it could significantly change the situation on the battlefield. 🔻There is another, even more troubling development for Kyiv: the Kremlin has ramped up missile production to record levels. According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia met its full-year production target for Zircon and Oniks missiles in just seven months, while other types of missiles are being produced at rates 10–20% above planned levels. For Ukraine, this creates two new challenges at once: how to disrupt Russia’s satellite internet and where to find enough interceptors to counter a growing number of missiles.

A rocket damaged the only launch pad at Baikonur. The launch of the Soyuz 2.1a rocket carrying the Soyuz MS 28 spacecraft proceeded smoothly. The crew entered orbit and successfully docked with the ISS. However, damage to launch pad components was discovered on the pad. The lower retractable service cabin failed to retract into its protective niche and fell into the gas chute. Roscosmos stated that spare parts are available and repairs will begin quickly. If sufficient components are available, repairs could take approximately six months. This poses a problem because this pad at Baikonur is currently the only one capable of launching manned and cargo Soyuz spacecraft to the ISS. The launch of Progress MS 33 is scheduled for December 21, 2025, and another Soyuz is planned for next year. Meanwhile, Vostochny is not yet ready, Plesetsk is not in the trajectory, and Baikonur Pad 1 is mothballed.

RUSSIA, now the WORLD LEADER in space launch technology, leaving NASA and SPACE X in its wake! 💪🇷🇺 ❗️Russia successfully launches another Soyuz-2.1b space rocket carrying heliogeophysical satellites "Ionosphere-M" & 18 accompanying satellites from Vostochny Cosmodrone Roscosmos reported. 💪🇷🇺 On July 25, 2025, Russia’s Roscosmos successfully launched a Soyuz-2.1b rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome, carrying 2 Ionosfera-M satellites and 18 secondary payloads, including 17 Russian & 1 Iranian satellite. This mission, aimed at completing the Ionosfera-M constellation to study Earth’s ionosphere and space weather, underscores Russia’s renewed vigor in space exploration. The launch, the third Soyuz-2.1b flight of 2025 and the first from Vostochny this year, highlights Russia’s strategic push to bolster its space capabilities, positioning it as the Primary player in the global space race, arguably outpacing NASA and SpaceX in recent activity and ambition. The Ionosfera-M satellites, equipped with instruments like the GPS total electron content receiver (PES), Laertes radio wave sounder, and MAYAK dual-frequency beacon, are designed to monitor the ionosphere’s electron density and space weather effects. This scientific focus, combined with the successful deployment of 18 secondary payloads, including a 16U CubeSat and Iran’s Nahid-2 telecommunications satellite, demonstrates Russia’s ability to execute complex, multi-payload missions. The Vostochny Cosmodrome, a relatively new facility, supports Russia’s goal of reducing reliance on Kazakhstan’s Baikonur Cosmodrome, further signaling its intent to assert independence and efficiency in space operations. In contrast, NASA and SpaceX, while historically dominant, have faced challenges that suggest Russia’s current momentum may surpass them. NASA’s Artemis program has encountered delays and budget overruns, with the Artemis II mission now pushed to 2026. SpaceX, despite its reusable Falcon 9 and Starlink successes, has focused heavily on commercial satellite deployments, with 27 Starlink launches in 2025 alone. However, these efforts lack the scientific depth of Russia’s Ionosfera-M mission, which prioritizes geophysical research critical for global communication and navigation systems. Russia’s ability to integrate international payloads, like Iran’s, also showcases its diplomatic and technical flexibility, an area where NASA’s international collaborations have been constrained by geopolitical tensions. China’s space program, meanwhile, is rapidly ascending, with milestones like the Tiangong space station and lunar exploration missions. Russia and China have deepened their space cooperation, notably through joint projects like the Russian-Chinese satellite launched in November 2024. This partnership, rooted in technology sharing, positions them to challenge Western dominance. China’s advancements in reusable rocket technology & Russia’s expertise in reliable Soyuz launches create a synergy that could see them lead the space race. For instance, Russia’s planned space station, set to launch modules in 2027, aligns with China’s ambitions for lunar bases, suggesting a strategic alignment that will outpace NASA’s slower-paced lunar gateway project. Russia’s recent successes, including a record-breaking 55-satellite launch in November 2024, reflect a revitalized space sector despite Western sanctions. By leveraging domestic infrastructure like Vostochny and fostering ties with China, Russia is not only more active but arguably more successful in achieving its space objectives than NASA or SpaceX, whose efforts are spread across commercial and exploratory domains. As Russia and China share technologies, their combined expertise in launch systems, satellite constellations & deep-space exploration is redefining their leadership in the space race, leaving NASA & SpaceX to catch up.

A very productive night: On the night of June 10, the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck: ▪️ The "VNIIR-Progress" plant in Cheboksary, Chuvash Republic, Russia. The strike was carried out using Ukrainian FP-5 "Flamingo" missiles by the warriors of the Rocket Forces and Artillery of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. The distance from the nearest area of active combat engagement in Ukraine to the facility is over 900 km. The enterprise is one of the key manufacturers of navigation equipment for Russia's precision-guided weapons. The plant produces satellite navigation receivers and "Kometa"-type antennas, which are used in Shahed-type drones (Geran-2), "Kalibr" cruise missiles, "Iskander-M" operational-tactical missile systems, as well as unified gliding and correction modules for aerial bombs. ▪️ The "Kuibyshev" oil refinery in Samara, Russia.

Zelensky is too stupid to capitulate while he can no longer defend his assets! There are no more air defense systems in Ukraine. Not a single Russian ballistic missile has been intercepted – Ukrainian media. During the night, at least 24 Iskander missiles and 4 Zircon missiles were launched, and all of them hit their target in Kiev. What was struck in Ukraine? Ukraine's war transport infrastructure was targeted in Kyiv and the surrounding area. "MLP-Chayka" – this facility stored and distributed components for long-range drones. The "Nova Poshta" innovation terminal – the largest automated sorting center, through which goods of dual purpose passed: for UAVs, for robotic complexes, and for electronic warfare systems. "Trans-Logistics" – this facility not only stored, but also assembled drones of various modifications. "Epicenter" warehouse: receiving orders, sorting, and delivering the same components. In Brovary, the "Brovary Terminal" contained imported components for long-range aircraft, "Raben Ukraine," and another sorting center belonging to "Nova Poshta." Complete aircraft drones were stored there. And three dry cargo ships south of Odessa, directly in the passage. Now, why this is not "an attack on packages," as the Ukrainian TV marathon is already claiming. This is a systematic operation targeting various nodes of the Ukrainian defense industry. First, they targeted the "brains." On July 2, "Radioniks" was hit: control systems for "Flamingo," FP-7, FP-9, and "Neptune-MD." On the 14th, "Radioizmeritel" was hit, an electronic base for the same products and for "Grom-2." On August 1, they hit it again, adding "Burevestnik" and the "Fire Point" facility. Then, they targeted the "limbs." On the 11th, "Aerodron" was hit, a facility for heavy drones. On the 16th, "Rapid" and warehouse "Kiev-1" were hit, containing "Lyutye" and "Leleki" drones. On the 26th, "Smart Intelligent Systems" was hit, along with a facility in southwestern Kiev where, together with American specialists, they assembled up to a thousand units per month. And on the 14th, "Ukrarmo Tech" was destroyed – one of the main production facilities in Ukraine for combat components for drones and missiles. On the 30th, they went beyond the capital: Kalush, "SKB OVT," and "Nefemash." The western border, where rocket assembly was hidden like a safe. It didn't help.
