Related: About this forumUkraine's Flamingo Cruise Missile is Already Crushing Russia - Paul Warburg
Ukraine's new Flamingo cruise missile is absolutely devastating Russia right now. Already, Russia was having gasoline shortages all over the place as Ukraine has been striking Russian energy targets with drones. Oil refineries, gas facilities, oil pipelines, oil tanker docking facilities, etc. But with the addition of the Flamingoes, these problems become exponentially worse.
And even now, before widespread strikes have begun, the Flamingoes are already forcing Russia to make major changes - reorienting air defenses, updating mental models, and just broadly thinking about things differently now that these new cruise missiles are on the board. That's creating widespread gaps that Ukraine is currently exploiting.
