Ukraine’s newest cruise missile, the Flamingo, is being hailed as a potential game changer — capable of striking targets up to 3,000 kilometers away with over a ton of explosive power. Fire Point, the startup behind it, says it already produces 50 a month and plans to quadruple that number by year’s end. But no one has seen the missile in action since its alleged debut strike on Russian-occupied Crimea in late August. Is the Flamingo really as powerful as claimed? The Kyiv Independent’s Kollen Post investigates the missile, its manufacturer, and the politics of Ukraine’s defense industry to find out.
