Russia claims 90+ Flamingo cruise missiles downed over summer, peak Aug 15

TASS reports Russian air defenses intercepted over 90 Flamingo cruise missiles during summer 2026, with the highest single-day tally on August 15. The claim is unverified and likely part of ongoing information warfare; it signals sustained Ukrainian long-range strike pressure on Russian rear areas. The scale and timing suggest a notable intensification of missile exchanges, though independent confirmation is lacking.
