US EditionUkraine Unveils 'Flamingo', Claims Serial Production of 3,000-Km Cruise Missile
Ukrainian defense firm Fire Point aims to produce seven Flamingo missiles daily by October, each with a 1,150 kg warhead and 3,000 km range to target Russian strategic sites.
- Associated Press photographer Efrem Lukatsky published on Monday a photo taken Thursday at a Fire Point workshop showing the Flamingo missile, and AP reported serial production on August 17.
- Fire Point developed the system over nine months, saying the entirely Ukrainian-made missile drew from the FP-5 Milanion design and aims for mass production by December 2025- January 2026.
- Fire Point says current production is one missile daily, rising to seven by October, which would equate to 2,555 missiles annually with a 1,150-kilogram warhead reported.
- Analysts warn the weapon's one-ton payload enables Ukraine to target depots, factories, energy nodes, and airfields deep in Russia, while mobile ground launchers complicate enemy defenses.
- Radar and fighter detection ranges show layered countermeasures with Bumblebee-M overhead radar detecting Flamingo missiles at 170-200 km, Su-35S and Su-30SM1 fighters at 230-250 and 120 km, while production could be localized in Western Ukraine or Poland and Germany.
