US EditionUkraine Unveils 'Flamingo', Claims Serial Production of 3,000-Km Cruise Missile
Ukraine’s domestically produced Flamingo missile carries a 1,000-kg warhead and aims to enhance strategic strikes against Russian military and industrial targets, officials said.
- On August 17, 2025, Ukraine announced the start of serial production of the Flamingo, a domestically developed cruise missile with a 3,000-kilometer range, at a Fire Point workshop.
- This development follows Ukraine's ongoing efforts to enhance domestic missile production amid disrupted Sapsan missile plans due to Russian strikes and slow Western supplies.
- The Flamingo resembles Soviet Tu-143 drones and reportedly carries a 1,000-kg warhead but lacks advanced stealth and countermeasure features, limiting its survivability against Russian defense systems.
- Associated Press photographer Efrem Lukatsky shared photos of the missile, while reports confirmed its range enables potential strikes on deep Russian military and production hubs up to 3,000 kilometers away.
- The serial production of the Flamingo supports Ukraine's strategy to increase indigenous long-range weapons, complementing grant programs aimed at expanding domestic rocket and explosive manufacturing.
