    Will Ukraine's new long-range Flamingo cruise missile put Russia on
    red alert?
    ...
    Ukraine unveiled the FP-5 "Flamingo," a domestically made long-range
    cruise missile. Could it significantly impact Russia's war with its
    powerful capabilities?
    ...
    "That is Ukraine's strongest security guarantee," Hoffmann said in a
    post on X. "If it can field 3,000 to 5,000 of these (and similar)
    missiles, ready within 24 to 48 hours to destroy upward of 25% of
    Russia's economic output, further Russian aggression becomes
    untenable."
    ...
    The unveiling of the Flamingo comes amid reports that the Pentagon has
    blocked Kyiv from using US-supplied long-range missiles to hit targets
    inside Russia, as US President Donald Trump tries to get his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to join peace talks.

    Washington has stopped Ukraine from deploying the Army Tactical
    Missile Systems (ATACMS) against targets in Russia for several months,
    the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
