New Ukrainian Cruise Missile With Claimed 1,800-Mile Range Breaks Cover
A new cruise missile called Flamingo, which reportedly has a range of 1,864 miles (3,000 kilometers), has emerged in Ukraine and is said to have already been used to strike targets in Russia. A weapon with this range, something Ukraine has been teasing for some time now, would allow it to hold targets at risk well beyond the reach of other missiles known to be in its arsenal.
Associated Press photojournalist Efrem Lukatsky first revealed the existence of Flamingo in a post on Facebook yesterday. Along with an accompanying photo and the aforementioned range claim, he stated that the missile is in series production through a Ukrainian company called Fire Point.
Today, Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda released two videos of Flamingos being launched from rails mounted on two two-axle trailers. The missiles are shown climbing sharply right after launch. The clip seen immediately below is also said to show them being used in a real strike on Russia.
