FP-5 Flamingo

Which means that once this comes into play, Ukraine can brute force their way into hitting a lot of Russia's most strategic targets with a really heavy punch.

What differentiates that, for example, from other weapons that Ukraine already has that can pack a heavy punch, like the Flamingo missile.

is that the Flamingo missile is a cruise missile.

It doesn't fly nearly as fast, so it's a lot easier to intercept.

Right now, Ukraine has not used a ton of Flamingo missiles.

They've mostly used the Flamingo missiles in waves where there's already a lot of drones going in to saturate the Russian air defenses.

And then they kind of use the Flamingos, hoping that they can get through on the back end of that.

And that's only successful sometimes.

The FP-7 tactical ballistic missile is manufactured by Fire Point, a prominent Ukrainian defense enterprise that has rapidly expanded its research and production capabilities during the full-scale conflict.

Fire Point is already widely known for producing the FP-1 long-range attack drone and the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile, both of which have been utilized extensively in Ukraine's long-range strike campaign against Russian military and industrial infrastructure.

Technical specifications published by the manufacturer indicate that the FP-7 possesses an effective strike range of up to two hundred and fifty kilometers, carrying a two hundred kilogram warhead designed to destroy fortified command structures, military staging areas, and air defense assets.

Additionally, developers have refined the missile's guidance systems to achieve a precision circular error probable of within fourteen meters, while simultaneously reducing manufacturing costs by thirty percent to enable sustainable large-scale production.

We are tracking the Palinetsia, the Peklo, Bars, Ruta and Long Neptune missiles.

They work in a combined arms capacity alongside Firepoint FP-1 drones and the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles.

The capability exists, but you have to define the mechanism enabling it.

How does a subsonic low altitude airframe built from commercial components penetrate an integrated air defense network over 2700 kilometers?

The FP-1 long range drones cost between $55,000 and $75,000 per unit.

Yes.

And the FP-5 Flamingos are under $600,000 each.

Contrast that with a Western Tomahawk at $3.64 million.

And then I'll show you this over here.

This is launch footage by Ukraine of the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles that were used to strike in the heart of Moscow.

Donald Trump called Zelensky and said, you need to stop striking refineries in Russia.

And Zelensky is like, okay, I'm not going to stop doing that unless there's a ceasefire.

So as long as we're under attack, we're going to attack Russia.

So who has the cards now, Donald, is basically what Zelensky was saying.

And then Zelensky released this launch footage of the FP-5 Flamingos.

And look, these FP-5 Flamingos, the fact that they were hitting this deep and they're hitting Moscow is showing you that Ukraine's been upgrading their technology as well.

Meanwhile, Ukraine struck a Moscow refinery 15 kilometers away from the Kremlin.

Ukraine says it uses domestically built Flamingo cruise missiles and Pelican ballistic missiles and drones.

Russian officials reported fires across multiple refinery units.

That matters because this is not some distant oil field.

So FP1 has hidden all these things.

Logistics hub, oil refineries and fuel depots, six industrial facilities, military industrial complexes, two vessels, 16 radar systems, five surface to air missile systems, energy infrastructure, 11 FP5.

uh vogelgrad prompt kit it's an industry i'm not i can't remember exactly what they have created but you get the idea now not to be overlooked jay and keith points out something that my my mind just went right past ukraine fire ukraine's firepoint announces that in just the first 15 days of september their drones and missiles were responsible for destroying 10 of russia's total refining capacity Okay, these hits in the last two weeks have been huge.

Cezron refinery, Saratov, Cezron again, Neck, Neck, uh, Kazimisk and then Slovyansk, not Kubani refinery.

So that was la-- [clears throat] not last night, but the evening before.

Uh, then the day before that, September eleventh, Ukrainian FP-5 missiles, this is just a follow-up story, attacked the Volgograd Prompoket plant in Volgograd.

Uh, FP-5 missile completely destroyed a section of the main workshop of the plant.

So that's just catching you up on some aftermath of a previous strike.

Okay.

So this happened, I believe, Friday night, about 4 a.m. local time.

And it looks like it's a pair of FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles launched from Ukraine, which made it the 800 or sorry, 900 kilometer distance and hit the factory.

Now, Based on local social media, the impacts or the explosions have been geolocated to a pair of buildings 106A and 106B.

And according to experts, who we can't verify are experts, these are buildings associated with avionics.

hello my friends this is a very important flamingo fp-5 missile strike that happened in samara region early morning it touched a very sensitive russian space infrastructure of the russian progress enterprise that is producing missiles which are being used to deliver Analogs of the Starlink satellites to the orbit.

I am speaking about the Russian Rosvet program.

And for you just to see, there were two of the Flamingo missiles which hit it really precisely.

This is the result.

Back to it.

Well, Ukraine's developing it with that FP5, I think, like the Flamingo series.

Yeah.

Like homemade interceptor missiles and so forth.
