Recently, the Ukrainian president hinted that from now on, Kyiv will respond in kind to Russia’s shelling. In fact, it turns out that Ukraine is ready to strike Russian territory with its missiles, one of which is the Flamingo, reports the resource Welt.
Missile technology expert Fabian Hoffman from the University of Oslo stated that during one of the recent attacks on an FSB base in Crimea, Kyiv used three Flamingo missiles at once. However, according to Hoffman, only two missiles reached their target, and one of them fell 100 meters from the target. Although one missile failed to reach its target, it left behind a crater 15 meters in diameter. "At first glance, this does not seem like a very good result. But considering that the strikes left craters up to fifteen metres in diameter, it becomes clear that the lack of accuracy is compensated for by enormous power," the publication writes.
Journalists believe that Flamingo missiles and other long-range weapons of Ukraine may push Russia to compromise. If Russia does not comply with the demands, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to attack not only energy facilities, but also weapons and ammunition factories.
Ukraine is intensifying attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure, with the latest development being the deployment of the FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missile, a high-speed, long-range weapon that could significantly increase the impact of Kyiv’s ongoing DeepStrike campaign, The Economist reported recently.
Since August, Ukraine has targeted key oil refineries, pumping stations, and fuel terminals across Russia, including sites more than 1,300 km from the frontlines. Analysts report that repeated strikes have already disrupted roughly 17–40% of Russia’s oil-refining capacity at various times, driving diesel exports to their lowest level since 2020 and causing widespread fuel shortages, from Vladivostok to Crimea.
While earlier Ukrainian drone attacks—including the FP-1 Fire Point and heavier Lyutyi drones—have caused substantial damage, the Flamingo missile represents a new level of destructiveness. The FP-5 flies just 50 meters above the ground, evading radar, and carries a massive 1,150 kg warhead. With a range of over 3,000 km, it can strike deep into Russian territory, altering the strategic calculus of the war.
Experts note that the FP-5’s speed, low flight altitude, and manoeuvrable trajectory allow it to bypass many of Russia’s weakened air-defence systems. Each missile costs around $500,000 and can be rapidly produced using repurposed Soviet-era turbofan engines and a carbon-fibre fuselage, which takes only six hours to manufacture. Fire Point plans to increase daily production from the current two to three missiles to seven by the end of the month.
“The Russians have a problem. They can’t stop this, and the Ukrainians have no reason to let up,” said British strategist Sir Lawrence Freedman. The Russian air defense system shot down the first Ukrainian Flamingo missile, according to Russian military pilot and member of the Special Military Operations Command, Alexey Voyevoda. He stated that a Buk anti-aircraft missile system successfully engaged the target.
