OSINT analysts from the “CyberFlour” project have released data on a successful missile strike on the enterprise LLC “SKIF-M” in Belgorod. This enterprise is one of the leading contractors in the aerospace industry of the Russian Federation. According to the analysts, the attack occurred on September 23, 2025, using Ukrainian “Flamingo” missiles.

Analysis of Damage After the Missile Strike
According to estimates from OSINT specialists, four missiles were fired at the target, which reached the vicinity of the objective. The official position of Russia claimed that “only one missile reached the factory,” however, satellite images contradict this statement. Analysis of the images indicates that all four missiles hit with a deviation of less than 80 meters from the designated target.
“The largest damage zone is about 25 meters, which does not correspond to a single impact scenario and rather indicates an attempt to downplay the actual consequences of the attack,” stated a message from the Telegram channel Exilenova+, which also emphasized that the target was indeed “SKIF-M,” and not another industrial facility in Belgorod, as claimed by Russian sources.
Impact on the Russian Aviation Industry
LLC “SKIF-M” specializes in the production of high-precision tools for processing titanium, aluminum, and composite materials, such as CFRP-titan, which are strategically important for the aerospace sector of the Russian Federation. Analysts estimate that up to 70% of the products from this enterprise are used in the production chains of military aircraft such as MiG, as well as the Su series – specifically Su-34, Su-35, and Su-57.
The destruction of this facility could significantly undermine the capabilities of the Russian aviation industry, especially in the production and repair of combat aircraft that are actively used in the war against Ukraine.
