Ukraine has already begun using its own cruise missiles, which are capable of penetrating Russian air defenses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is stated in the material of The Economist,<\/span> NV reports<\/span><\/a> .<\/span><\/p>\n

A weapon capable of flying 50 meters above the ground with a range of 3,000 kilometers and a 1,150-kilogram warhead could take the DeepStrike campaign to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, as the author of the material explained, the Flamingo, due to its low flight altitude, can deceive air defenses by constantly changing its direction of movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, Ukraine produces two to three missiles per day, however, it is planned that production will reach seven units by the end of the month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their cost is $500,000 each, while the American Tomahawk missile costs four times as much, and its range is shorter than that of the Flamingo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ukraine has already caused significant damage to the Russian energy system through attacks on oil refineries.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ukrainians are in trouble. The Russians have a problem. They can\u2019t stop it, and the Ukrainians have no reason to slow down,\u201d said Lawrence Friedman, a professor of military studies at King\u2019s College London.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you know, Ukraine has received at its disposal a new generation cruise missile called \u201cFlamingo.\u201d<\/a> Its warhead weighs one ton.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that the media reported the beginning of mass production of a new generation of cruise missiles called “Flamingo”<\/a> , which are capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 3,000 kilometers.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, at the end of August , Flamingo missiles hit an FSB outpost and patrol boats<\/a> in temporarily occupied Crimea.<\/p>\n

By the way, new footage of the launch of the Ukrainian Flamingo cruise missile has been published on social networks<\/a> .<\/p>\n
