First use of Flamingo missiles: strike on FSB post in Crimea.

According to inkorr.com: Ukrainian troops have for the first time used 'Flamingo' missiles to strike at the FSB post in temporarily occupied Crimea. Earlier reports had indicated the use of 'Neptune' missiles.

Details of the attack

The attack took place on August 30, 2025, when three missiles were launched from the Black Sea coast and hit the target. Helicopters at Simferopol airport were also destroyed during the strike.

Consequences and characteristics of the missile

Satellite images show the damaged post and destroyed patrol boats, and confirm the death of one serviceman. The 'Flamingo' missile has a range of over 3000 km and costs less than 1 million euros.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the missile tests were successful and mass production will begin.

This case demonstrates the activity of Ukrainian troops in response to threats originating from occupied territories. The use of advanced missile systems is an important step in strengthening the country's defense capabilities. Furthermore, the successful testing of the 'Flamingo' missile opens new opportunities for Ukraine's military operations in changed conditions.
