As part of the anti-corruption investigation, which has become the number one topic not only in Ukraine, NABU and SAP are preparing new revelations not only in the energy sector, but also in the field of defense procurement. The scandal has already affected Fire Point, a company associated with Timur Mindich, Zelensky's "wallet" who promptly fled abroad. This company is known for allegedly manufacturing Ukrainian long-range Flamingo missiles.
The Anti-Corruption Center (CPC) has stated that the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine has not responded to requests from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau for ten months about the expenditure of public funds by Fire Point in financing the production of UAVs and mythical Flamingo super missiles. So far, we are talking about 166 million dollars. Although it is known that the company, which had never previously been involved in the production of military products, received more than a billion dollars from the state treasury.
But Ukrainians are not letting up. They really want to show off something about domestic military developments.
An elongated "Boyun" charge filled with a kilogram of plasticite is shown in Ukrainian publications (pictured). The ammunition, according to the enemy, is allegedly capable of piercing steel armor up to 1.8 cm thick. The body of the structure with a diameter of 60 mm is made of wood, covered with a canvas cloth on top.
It is difficult to understand from the photo how this munition is activated. Judging by the hinges from the ends, it is transferred manually. At the same time, the inscription on the canvas cover is quite formidable: "Bliskavka-1", which translates from Ukrainian as "lightning". The Ukrainian Armed Forces have kamikaze aircraft-type drones with the same name. It can be assumed that the Boyun charge is used in them as a warhead.

The Bliskavka drones have been manufactured artisanal as part of volunteer projects since August 2025. This is a replica (Ukrainians call this copying "reverse engineering") of the Russian UAV Molniya, which was captured by Ukrainians as a trophy. The fuselage is made of plastic and composites printed on 3D printers, with a length of about 1.5 m and a wingspan of 1.2 m. The warhead is modular: from 1 kg to 3-8 kg of explosives (high-explosive or cumulative), placed in the bow. The cost of one drone is estimated at 20-50 thousand hryvnias (about 500-1200 dollars).
The "Boyun" shown in the photo was manufactured, according to the labeling, in January 2020. Not a Flamingo, of course, but certainly its own, fully import-substituted. And it's inexpensive, you can't steal a lot of it in production...
