Reference News website, February 13 report: According to the website of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta", on February 12, the Russian air defense system intercepted five Ukrainian "Ukrainian" cruise missiles. This is the first time that the Russian military has reported destroying this type of long-range missile from the Ukrainian army.
The report said that these "Ukrainian" missiles may have been intercepted while en route to the town of Kotluban in the Volgograd region, with the interception taking place above the region. The head of the Volgograd region, Andrei Bokharov, stated that the Ukrainian missile attack was thwarted, with debris falling into the area where military targets are located.
Russian military experts pointed out that the "Ukrainian" missile is a replica of the British FP-5 missile, which was showcased at the 2025 Abu Dhabi International Defense Exhibition.
According to the report, both missiles have similar technical specifications and appearance, and can carry a warhead weighing about 1,000 kilograms to strike targets within a range of 3,000 kilometers, and can be equipped with high-explosive or concrete destruction warheads according to different missions. They have a wingspan of 6 meters, a maximum flight speed of 950 km/h, a maximum endurance of more than 4 hours, and are equipped with an inertial satellite combined navigation system that is resistant to electronic interference, with a circular probability of error reportedly less than 14 meters. Due to their size, these missiles may rapidly ascend during launch, making them easier to detect by air defense systems.
The "Telegram" app's "Military Chronicle" channel previously reported: "When the 'Ukrainian' missile carries the British designation, it has already been called the 'Tomahawk' for the poor." (Translated by Liu Yang)
