Ukraine says they can produce an FP-5 Flamingo Cruise Missile everyday now, and expect to be producing 7 per day by the end of October.

That means that so much more stuff is now within range, than Russia has Air Defense assets to protect. They will have to re-position assets, and accept leaving lots of things undefended.

Oil facilities will be able to be hit much harder with 2,500 lb Flamingo warheads, and much more frequently than they were in August, when 20% of Russian refining was knocked offline.

Basically, it looks like Ukraine will have the capabilty to take down Russia’s oil industry, and keep it down for the rest of the war - a Strategic effect.
