Ukrainian Flamingo Missile Exceeds Tomahawk: Key Advantages.
According to inkorr.com: The Ukrainian 'Flamingo' missile 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, reducing dependence on foreign allies. According to the British publication Independent, the Ukrainian cruise missile FP-5 'Flamingo' exceeds the American 'Tomahawk' in characteristics, reports 'Glavkom'.
Specifications of the 'Flamingo' Missile
- Range: up to 3000 km.
- Speed: maximum speed of 900 km/h.
- Warhead: can carry over a ton of explosives, twice as powerful as the 'Tomahawk'.
- Engine: the missile is equipped with a Soviet-made turbofan engine, which, according to Independent, can even be found in landfills.
The cost of the 'Flamingo' missile is approximately the same as that of the 'Tomahawk', but the Ukrainian missile has twice the range.
The main advantage of the 'Flamingo' is its independence from the restrictions of allies. In the UK, France, and the USA, the use of transferred weapons (Storm Shadow, ATACMS) for strikes against Russia has been prohibited, thus Ukraine can launch the 'Flamingo' missile at its discretion against any targets.
Other Developments by Fire Point Company
In addition to missiles, Fire Point produces drones FP1 and FP2, which cost approximately $50,000 (three times less than Russian 'Shahed' drones) and can carry up to 150 kg of explosives.
Ukraine Has the Most Powerful Army in Western Europe
Independent emphasizes that in the context of war, Ukraine demonstrates technological ingenuity in its fight against Russia, and according to their estimates, it already possesses the strength of the most powerful army in Western Europe.
The news that the Ukrainian 'Flamingo' missile is more effective than the 'Tomahawk' confirms the successes of the Ukrainian defense industry and its independence from foreign suppliers. Ukraine continues to strengthen its defense capabilities, which is critically important in the face of modern threats and conflicts.
