Ukraine has unveiled its long-range Flamingo cruise missile with a range of 3,000 kilometers.
Photo correspondent Efrem Lukatsky posted the image on his Facebook page, saying the missile has already entered mass production.
The photo was taken on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at an undisclosed location in Ukraine.
“Ukrainian-made Flamingo missiles with a range of over 3,000 kilometers, which have been put into mass production, were spotted in the workshop of one of the country’s leading defense companies, Fire Point, at an undisclosed location in Ukraine on Thursday, August 14, 2025,” Lukatsky wrote.
He added that the project was carried out by Fire Point.
No other details have been provided.
If it’s in production, I hope we can see it in action soon.
It’s very risky to publish an image of a weapon production facility. If a pro-russian scum or a ruskie who’s been there before recognizes it, then…
The company supplies weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and first showed its development in February 2025 at the IDEX-2025 exhibition in the UAE.
“Given the declared characteristics of the Flamingo and FP-5, as well as the appearance of both missiles, including the fact that they are large cruise missiles with fixed straight wings and the placement of the engine above the fuselage, no alternatives are in sight,” the portal wrote.
FP-5 can fly 3 thousand km, spend 4 hours in the air, develop a speed of up to 950 km per hour, have a wingspan of 6 m. Its weight is up to 6 tons, of which 1 ton is the warhead.
Defense Express writes that there are few such missiles in the world and that they are more powerful than the Tomahawk missiles, which have a 450 kg warhead. At the same time, Milanion Group noted that it can produce 50 FP-5 missiles per month. “The company also declared that the missile uses satellite navigation, resistant to electronic warfare, as well as an inertial system,” the observers added.

It only has to fly 500km at an altitude of 200 feet, I wish theyd stop F’in around and send it already.
Indeed!
[…] “While pseudo-journalists and bloggers under the guidance of Russian propaganda are shouting that all is lost, the company Fire Point has transferred another batch of Flamingo missiles to the military,” he wrote on his Facebook page. […]
