Its technical specifications have not yet been officially known. But the ‘Flamingò – the missile with a 3,000 kilometer range that Ukraine has already “successfully tested”, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky – would already be in production and would have been used to hit objectives in Russian territory. The first image of the super missile was taken by the Ukrainian photographer Efrem Lukatsky on August 14th while he was assembled in the Hangar of the aerospace startup Hangar Ukraine Fire Point.
The first versions of the missile were pink in color due to a factory error and for this reason the developers of the Fire Point then decided to adopt the nickname “Flamingo” (flamingo), while its design seems similar to the FP-5 system presented at the beginning of this year by the British Milan group at the Defense Fair Idex-2025 by Abu Dhabi, reports the United24 Media website. The FP-5 is equipped with a 1,000 kg head, has a maximum range of 3,000 km, a weight at the launch of about six tons, a fixed-meter-fixed air opening, reaches a maximum speed of 900 km/he uses a combined driving system that includes satellite navigation of any electronic attacks.
Second, some observers, the Ukrainian “flamingo” could have similar parameters, even if there are still no confirmations from official sources. With a radius of 3,000 kilometers, this missile could affect objectives well beyond the scope of most of the current long -haul weapons of Ukraine. The “flamingo” would be able to transport a 1,150 kilos head, significantly heavier than the heads of many standard cruise missiles, writes United24 Media.
According to rumors of the Ukrainian weekly Dzerkalo Tyzhnia, the Fire Point would be producing one a day, with the aim of increasing the capacity to seven per day by October: Zelensky said today that its large -scale production could start by February. According to the media, the goal is to produce 50 per month. Flamingò is designed to be launched by a mobile platform, which makes it more difficult for Russia to identify and destroy it: according to sources of Dzerkalo Tyzhnia, it would have already been used in combat successfully to hit objectives within Russia.
