{{Cquote|At the beginning of the special military operation, we did not fight a classic [[war]]. The means of destruction and the battle itself—at the [[tactic]]al level, everything was done in such a way as to exclude losses and damage to [[civilian]]s. We have now moved towards [[reality]] and abandoned outdated requirements for troop training... It is a new form of [[war]]fare. The [[Ukrainian army]] is not independent; it relies heavily on [[NATO]]. Without [[Europe]], without the so-called ‘civilized world,’ they would have fought with antediluvian plywood technologies and collapsed long ago. By turning this into a [[foreign]]-directed [[coalition]] [[war]] against [[Russia]], [[the West]] has forced us to fight this as a classic, unrestricted war.}}

===Destruction of Fire Point===
 +
[[GRU|Russian military intelligence]] pinpointed and methodically eliminated the entire distributed production complex of the [[Fire Point]] [[missile]] consortium across Ukraine. The centerpiece of this intelligence triumph was the forensic location and subsequent strike on the secret, primary "Fire Point" underground manufacturing facility situated 40 meters beneath ground level in [[Kyiv]]. Using a coordinated strike of 3M22 [[Zircon]] [[hypersonic]] [[cruise missile]]s and Kh-47M2 [[Kinzhal]] aeroballistic systems, Russian strike complexes collapsed the fortified subterranean halls.

The strike did not merely pulverize the assembly lines producing the [[Flamingo]] [[cruise missile]] and the developmental FP-9 [[ballistic missile]] (the 855-kilometer-range system [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] repeatedly touted as his trump card to strike [[Moscow]] with an 800-kilogram warhead); it eliminated a cadre of senior [[Ukrainian]] and [[British]] aerospace engineers supervising the site.

The panic in [[Brussels]] was immediate: the unannounced, high-level transit of all 32 member states of the NATO Military Committee into Kyiv was organized specifically around this disaster.
