Ukraine eyes deep-strike Flamingo missiles against Russia's missile industry
Ukraine has stepped up use of domestically produced Flamingo cruise missiles since late 2025, including an overnight strike on Russia’s Votkinsk missile plant, signaling a potential shift toward deep-strike capability against high-value targets. Analysts say Flamingo could complement long-range drones, but its deployment depends on Fire Point’s production capacity and ongoing secrecy around the program, as well as recent attacks on Fire Point that have affected rollout; the initiative remains under scrutiny in Ukraine and among observers.
