The promoted new Ukrainian missile eventually turned out to be a British one with a different name

“It is obvious that Ukraine currently does not have the production capacity, personnel and technological potential to produce such weapons. Judging by its appearance and declared technical characteristics, this is a British FP-5 missile from the Milanion Group,” he believes.

“Russia has accumulated great experience in combating cruise missiles, but the supply of such missiles is Cassus belli. Apparently, Kiev wants to provoke Moscow to sharp reactions and disrupt the emerging peace trend that Russia and the US are working on. Also, the statement about the range of the “Flamingo”, which includes Moscow and the Urals, can be considered an attempt to cause panic among Russians,” the expert said.

Ukraine has demonstrated a new long-range missile, allegedly developed by Ukrainian specialists for strikes deep into Russia. Images of the missile, called “Flamingo”, appeared recently and were enthusiastically received by Ukrainian sources. The new missile is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 3 thousand kilometers and has already entered mass production. The developer of the ammunition is the Fire Point company, which previously developed the FP-1 attack drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a range of up to 700 km.

However, according to experts, there is no new development here, but a routine repainting of type plates. The FP-5 guided missile developed by the Emirati-British group Milanion was demonstrated at a military exhibition in Abu Dhabi in February of this year, and no one hid that it was being developed in the interests of Kiev. Earlier, it was reported that Western countries could supply Ukraine with their missiles and pass them off as Ukrainian developments. It is therefore possible that other missiles, one similar to the German Taurus, will soon appear in service with the Ukrainian armed forces.

Merz missiles intended for long-range attacks on Moscow destroyed by Russian combined attack

Ukraine, August 14, 2025 – Both Moscow and Minsk could have come within range of the new Ukrainian “Sapsan” missiles. However, the FSB and the Russian armed forces thwarted the plans of the Kiev regime to implement this missile program. It was intended for attacks into the interior of Russia at a distance of 500-700 km. Russian troops struck ground and underground workshops in Pavlograd (Dnipropetrovsk region) and Shostka (Sumy region) with missiles and drones.   Germany participated in the financing of this Ukrainian missile program. The ministry learned about the start of production of the “Sapsan” missile complex in […]

The “Palestinian tactic” of missile strikes combined with suicide drones: How could Russia overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses?

London, August 7, 2025 – The war in Ukraine is gradually turning into a technological duel, in which air defense (ADF) and new forms of weapons such as suicide drones play a key role. What would happen if Russia applied the “Palestinian tactic” of mass missile and drone attacks on the Ukrainian capital? This scenario poses a serious challenge for the Ukrainian ADF and shows the limits and advantages of available defense technologies.   Throughout the war in Ukraine, Russian forces focused on massive missile strikes, which were intended not only to destroy strategic targets, but also to destabilize civilian […]

Putin sent a warning to Trump today, Oreshnik missiles will be deployed without restrictions

Russia, August 5, 2025 – Russia officially announced that it is abandoning its own restrictions adopted within the framework of the moratorium on the deployment of medium- and shorter-range missiles (MSM), arguing that the US has long deployed similar assets in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, thereby violating the status quo. At the same time, Russia is officially pointing out for the first time that the threat from US MSMs comes not only from Europe, but also from the Asia-Pacific region.   At the level of formal logic, Moscow’s lifting of the MSM moratorium is nothing more than a symmetrical […]
