President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for increasing the number of FP-5 Flamingo missiles manufactured by the Ukrainian company Fire Point that attack Russia, UNN writes.
Thousands of our Deep Strikes have already been seen by Moscow, Tuapse, Tula, Ryazan, Olenya, Omsk, and dozens more locations reached by our Ukrainian justice. Russia must see more of this justice. "Flamingos" must not be a rare species but a common bird; they must spend the winter in Russia
The FP-5 "Flamingo" is a modern ground-based UAV/cruise missile system developed to deliver a designated payload of up to 1,150 kg for engaging ground targets with fixed topographic coordinates at a range of up to 3,000 km, both day and night. The missile is capable of striking a target even amid active electronic warfare.
Fire Point emphasizes that the FP-5 stands out for its ease of use and low cost. It is the largest system in its class, but it remains simple to manufacture and launch. It does not require expensive launch platforms—its launchers are reusable, making deployment more economical.
Open sources indicated that the missile was built on the basis of AI-25 or AI-25TL engines; however, back in March 2026, Fire Point co-founder and chief designer Denis Shtilerman stated that the company was completing development of its own engine, which would be manufactured at the company’s production facilities.
