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.
