Ukraine has officially begun mass production of a new generation of cruise missiles called “Flamingo”, which are capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 3,000 kilometers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by<\/a> The Economist.<\/p>\n

According to the publication, the missile has a powerful warhead weighing over one ton and is almost entirely \u2014 90% \u2014 made of Ukrainian components. The development took only 9 months \u2014 its launch was a direct response to the US refusal to transfer Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The cost of one product does not exceed 1 million euros, which makes the Flamingo a cost-effective weapon with high potential.<\/p>\n

Fire Point, the company behind the missile, noted that “the enemy will be shocked when Flamingo is put into combat use.”<\/p>\n

Currently, production is carried out at a rate of one rocket per day, but capacity is expected to increase to seven rockets per day in the fall.<\/p>\n

Recall, missile technology expert Hoffmann assessed the potential of the new weapon: according to him, 3\u20135 thousand such missiles are capable of destroying more than 25% of Russia’s economic output.<\/a><\/p>\n

As reported, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that successful tests of the Ukrainian Flamingo missile have already taken place, and its mass production should begin early next year.<\/a><\/p>\n
