New Ukrainian Flamingo missile: what are the goals in the Russian Federation better - expert (video)

Will the Ukrainian development systematically destroy the Russian military-industrial and cause pain to the economy of the aggressor country, told "Radio NV" the founder of the charitable organization "Reactive Mail", military expert Pavlo Narozhny. According to the expert, the news of launching the domestic Flamingo missile is a wonderful news because the rocket is simple and the size of the combat part is one ton that is twice as powerful than the American Tomahawk.

The fact that Ukraine has a "big surprise for the Russians" hinted at official sources that are relevant to the rocket program, he added. "It cannot be compared to the same Storm Shadow/Scalp, etc. But in this case, we do not need very complicated guidance systems. In more modern American or British missiles, there are visual guidance systems that can be infrared in the use of various anti -missile remedies.

The NV interlocutor stressed that the new rocket of Ukraine should be used for attacks on the Russian Federation and for the effective destruction of the Russian economy. "Most of these factories, we see that we can impress with cheap drones that fly at speed not 1000 kilometers like this rocket, but at a speed of 200-250 kilometers per hour. That is, we now need a large number of cheap tools that can effectively destroy the Russian economy and MIC.

The expert also explained that the Russian MIC, for example, "Uralvagonzavod", have a huge area, and some systems are duplicated and "dug into the ground". According to the way, to harm such goals, warheads weighing from to ton are needed: and then Ukraine will be able to "stop the production of weapons in Russia effectively. " On August 17, the Western newspaper Associated Press spread information about launching in the mass production of Ukrainian Flamingo missile.

These weapons are able to achieve targets at a distance of 3000 kilometers. The mass-inquiry characteristics of "flamingo" exceeds most modern cruise missiles, including Tomahawk, where the mass of the battle part is about 450 kg at a distance of up to 1600 km. This makes it not just an analogue of well -known Western samples, but a potentially more powerful tool for the defeat of deep rear goals.

The ton of combat load opens the possibility of destruction of large warehouses, plants, energy units and aerodromes at the considerable depth of the enemy's territory. Due to the mobility of the launching installations, the rocket can be used from different points, which complicates the task of the opponent of preventive destruction of the complex. Masking the start -ups under civilian tractors or container solutions adds a suddenness factor.

Flamingo rocket is very similar to the FP-5 winged rocket, which was presented by the UAE in early 2025. The rocket was first shown at the IDEX-2025 exhibition, it has the following tactical and technical characteristics: according to B-Tech, Flamingo reaches 3000 km, while Tomahawk Block V has a range of about 1600 km, while Storm Shadow affects only 560 km. Thus, the Ukrainian rocket is almost twice the American sample and several times the British-French.

Flamingo combat also has the advantage of up to 1000 kg against about 450 kg in Tomahawk and Storm Shadow. This allows you to make much more devastating blows in large industrial and military facilities. Storm Shadow has a specialized Broach combat part, optimized for the defeat of fortified goals, but its total mass is less. At speed, all three rockets remain permutable, the cruising speed ranges from 850 to 1000 km/h. "Flamingo" is developed as a strategic land base rocket.

It can be struck by industrial and critical objects deep in the rear of the enemy. Tomahawk is a universal maritime and ground base that can be used for a wide range of goals. Storm Shadow is primarily focused on aviation launches and acts as a scalpel to destroy the fortified targets with high -precision blows. We will remind that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine launched mass production of ballistic missiles "Sapsan", which in the middle of May 2025 underwent a successful combat test.
