Ukraine has shown the assembly workshop of the "Flamingo" cruise missile, stating that they have started mass production, assembling one per day, and increasing the capacity to seven per day in October. This cruise missile is claimed to have a maximum range of 3000 kilometers, a warhead of 1 ton, and a maximum speed of 800 kilometers per hour. Previously, Ukraine stated that the production factory is located in the forest of the Carpathian Mountains in the westernmost part of Ukraine, and it has conducted multiple launch tests.
The actual combat effectiveness of the "Flamingo" cruise missile still needs more evidence to verify. It also highlights the potential and limitations of small countries' defense industries in conflicts. This missile model was previously displayed in the UAE, and the outside world speculates that this missile belongs to a low-cost cruise missile, with all components provided by the West and then assembled in Ukraine.
