The FP-5 "Flamingo" is a modern ground-based UAV/cruise missile system,  designed to deliver a specified payload of up to 1,150 kg to strike ground targets with fixed topographic coordinates at a range of up to 3,000 km, both day and night. The missile can hit a target even amid active electronic interference.
