Ukraine has unveiled the Flamingo cruise missile, a significant advancement in its military capabilities, developed by the startup Fire Point. With the ability to carry a 2,535-pound warhead and strike targets up to 3,000 kilometers away, this missile symbolizes Ukraine’s drive towards military self-sufficiency and reduced reliance on Western arms. The production is set to scale dramatically, with mass production expected by December 2025, reflecting Ukraine’s ambition to become a defense innovation hub. This development underscores a new phase in the conflict, potentially allowing Ukraine to engage strategic Russian targets at unprecedented ranges, altering the dynamics of the ongoing war.
