Ukraine’s Flamingo Missile: What 3,000 km Range Really Means

Ukraine has unveiled the FP-5 Flamingo, a domestically developed long-range cruise missile built by Fire Point under strict secrecy. Reported specifications include a range of up to 3,000 km, a 1,150 kg warhead adapted from an aerial bomb, and propulsion from an Ivchenko AI-25TL turbofan. The missile is ground-launched and optimized for low-level flight with satellite navigation guidance, though survivability will depend on route planning and electronic warfare resistance. While production capacity and sustained use remain unproven, Flamingo represents a major leap in Ukraine’s indigenous strike capability, giving Kyiv the ability to conduct deep-range missions independently of foreign suppliers and policies.
