In this video, I unpack everything we know so far about the Flamingo: • The Specs: 6,000 kg total weight, Mach 0.75 cruise speed, and guidance via satellite plus inertial navigation. This is a missile built to fly far, fly low, and hit hard. • The Origin Story: Developed in just nine months by Kyiv-based Fire Point—yes, the same company that went from 18 staff to 2,200 in a year and was founded by… filmmakers. • The Quirky Name: Early prototypes accidentally came out pink, so the nickname “Flamingo” stuck. Imagine being a Russian pilot telling your grandkids you were shot down by a flamingo. • The Design: Fiberglass body for radar-shyness, AI-25 turbofan engines from Zaporizhia, and a top-mounted engine reminiscent of the German V-1 or Soviet Tu-141. Old-school inspiration, new-school execution. • The Strategy: Why Ukraine doesn’t care if some get swatted—when you launch enough, something’s going to slip through. Flamingo is built for massed salvos that overwhelm Russian defenses.
