Ukrainian missile Flamingo surpasses Tomahawk: what are its advantages

The Ukrainian missile 'Flamingo' has proven to be more powerful than the American 'Tomahawk'.

The Ukrainian defense industry, combining Soviet technologies with modern IT solutions, continues to develop its potential to reduce dependence on foreign allies. According to the British publication Independent, the Ukrainian cruise missile FP-5 'Flamingo' outperforms the American 'Tomahawk' in terms of specifications, reports 'Glavkom'.

Specifications of the 'Flamingo' missile

• Range: up to 3000 km.
• Speed: maximum speed 900 km/h.
• Warhead: capable of carrying over a ton of explosives, twice as powerful as the 'Tomahawk'.
• Engine: the missile is equipped with a Soviet-made turbojet engine that, according to Independent, may even be found in junkyards.

The price of the 'Flamingo' missile is approximately the same as that of the 'Tomahawk', but the Ukrainian missile has twice the flight range.

The main advantage of the 'Flamingo' is its independence from allies' restrictions. In the UK, France, and the US, the use of transferred weapons (Storm Shadow, ATACMS) for strikes against Russia has been prohibited, and in this regard, Ukraine can launch the 'Flamingo' missile at its discretion against any targets.

Other developments by Fire Point

In addition to missiles, Fire Point produces drones FP1 and FP2, which at a cost of approximately $50 thousand (three times cheaper than the Russian 'Shaheds') can carry up to 150 kg of explosives.

Ukraine has the most powerful army in Western Europe

Independent emphasizes that in wartime, Ukraine proves to be more inventive from a technological standpoint in its confrontation with Russia, and according to their estimates, 'already possesses the strength of the most powerful army in Western Europe'.

Reports that the Ukrainian missile 'Flamingo' has been more effective than the American 'Tomahawk' serve as important confirmation of the successful development of the Ukrainian defense industry and its independence from foreign suppliers. Ukraine continues to strengthen its defense capabilities, which is crucial in light of modern threats and conflicts.
