Overview

• Ukrainian outlet Militarnyi reported a triple Flamingo launch on August 30 that hit an FSB border outpost and damaged patrol boats near Armyansk in northern Crimea.
• Low-resolution Copernicus satellite imagery indicates the outpost building was struck, and Russian outlet Astra reported six damaged patrol hovercraft and one serviceman killed.
• Clips on social media purport to show the sunrise launches, though outlets including Newsweek say they have not independently verified the footage.
• Developers and Ukrainian defense sources claim the ramp-launched missile has a range of about 3,000 kilometers, a roughly 1,150-kilogram warhead, and resistance to electronic-warfare jamming.
• Fire Point says it is producing about one Flamingo per day with a goal of roughly seven per day by October, while the firm is reportedly under a NABU probe over pricing and delivery concerns.
