On the night of 20 September, Ukraine’s defense forces struck an oil industry facility and a logistics site in the Moscow region of the aggressor country, Russia. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Telegram.
A large number of drones attacked Moscow over the past day, the city’s mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported. According to him, Russian air defenses allegedly shot down more than 1,6 thousand UAVs, about 450 of them while approaching the capital. Several drones reached the territory of the Moscow refinery in Kapotnya, and another struck a residential building.
Zelensky said these were facilities whose operations bring Russia billions of dollars and support its war machine.
The president noted that the attack employed, among others, FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000 drones, "Palyanytsia," Vendetta, "Lyutiy," "Bars," "Flamingo," "Sichen" and Pelican.
Zelensky also named Pelican among the weapons used. Pelican is the name of a new brand from the Ukrainian defense company Fire Point, which produces Flamingo missiles and FP-1 and FP-2 drones. In April the company registered the trademark "Pelican"—likely the name for its FP7 ballistic missile, hromadske reported in April.
Fire Point’s chief designer and co-founder Denis Shtilerman told Dmitro Gordon, founder of the outlet GORDON, in an interview that the first Ukrainian ballistic missile could fly to Moscow in the fall of 2026. The exact timing, he said, depends on the results of engine tests.
The head of state also reported the "application of sanctions" against an enterprise in Russia’s Voronezh region.
"Moscow should not build layered air-defense rings at the expense of other regions, but end its brutal war and choose peace. There are steps on the table for de-escalation: in energy and food security. Political will is needed. Thanks to everyone who strengthens Ukrainian long-range strike capability. Grateful to everyone who complements our long-range responses with sanctions responses. Glory to Ukraine!" Zelensky wrote.
