Ukraine produces 2-3 Flamingo missiles daily: how the FP-5 is changing the war.

According to inkorr.com: Ukraine is already actively using its own FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles to attack Russian territory, and the production of this weapon is increasing every day. According to information from , currently, 2-3 missiles are produced daily, and by the end of October, they plan to increase this rate to 7 units per day.

What is the "Flamingo" missile

FP-5 "Flamingo" is the latest , developed under the DeepStrike program. It can fly at a very low altitude of about 50 meters above the ground, has a range of over 3000 km, and a warhead weight of 1150 kg. These characteristics allow it to evade air defense systems and deliver significant strikes on key targets deep within Russia.

What is the cost of the FP-5 "Flamingo" missile

, the production of the missile body from carbon fiber takes only six hours, and the engines are sourced from refurbished Soviet turbojet engines. The cost of one FP-5 missile is approximately 500 thousand dollars - this is three times cheaper than the American "Tomahawk", which also has a shorter range and a less powerful warhead.

If the FP-5 can effectively penetrate Russian air defense, it will significantly expand the capabilities of Ukrainian strikes at long distances and elevate the DeepStrike campaign to a new level.

Drones Fire Point FP-1 and "Lyutyi"

In addition to "Flamingo" missiles, Ukraine actively uses Fire Point FP-1 drones, which carry out about 60% of deep strikes on Russian territory. These drones have a range of up to 1500 km and cost approximately 55 thousand dollars. Heavier "Lyutyi" drones are also involved, capable of reaching 2000 km and equipped with machine vision systems for targeting.

In recent weeks, Ukrainian drones and missiles have dealt serious blows to strategic facilities in Russia, including an oil terminal in Novorossiysk, a factory in Bashkortostan, a pump station in Chuvashia, and an oil refinery in Yaroslavl. According to analysts from Argus Media, Ukraine's attacks have already incapacitated up to 40% of Russian oil refining capacities, and 16 out of 38 plants in Russia have sustained serious damage.

The use of FP-5 "Flamingo" missiles and drones makes Ukrainian forces more effective in their operations on enemy territory.
