• The Fire Point representative said the missiles deploy in 20 to 40 minutes, reach speeds of about 950 km/h and carry over 1,000 kilograms of warhead across distances of up to 3,000 km.
• Ukrainian defense officials describe Flamingo as designed for precision strikes against high-value targets deep behind enemy lines.
• A photo shared August 14 by photojournalist Yefrem Lukatsky appears to show the missile at a production site, with its caption attributing development and serial production to Fire Point.
• Fire Point asserts that Flamingo outperforms U.S. Tomahawks in cost and technical characteristics, potentially reducing Ukraine’s reliance on foreign long-range munitions.
• Analysts caution that a domestically produced 3,000-km strike capability could shift regional deterrence and heighten strategic concerns among Western allies.
