Ukraine unveiled the FP-5 “Flamingo,” a new long-range cruise missile. It is developed by Ukraine’s Fire Point defense company. The missile has a range of 3,000 kilometres and carries a 1,150-kilogram warhead with a maximum takeoff weight of 6,000 kg. Flamingo is the first indigenously produced “heavy” missile in Ukraine’s arsenal. It has a wingspan of six meters and uses a turbofan engine. The missile can reach speeds up to 900 km/h and navigates using inertial systems and GPS. Its high terminal velocity and heavy warhead allow deeper target penetration and greater destruction. It is designed to resist electronic warfare, likely with secure GPS and CRPA antennas.
