Ukraine has begun using Flamingo missiles for strikes.

Ukraine has begun to use the latest Flamingo cruise missiles, which increases pressure on Russia's fuel infrastructure, according to an article in The Economist. These missiles are capable of traveling over 3000 kilometers while flying at just 50 meters above the ground and are equipped with a 1150-kilogram warhead, delivering significant destructive power.

According to the publication, the daily production of FP-5 missiles currently stands at two to three units, but production is planned to increase to seven by the end of October. The cost of each missile is estimated at approximately $500, making it four times cheaper than its American counterpart, the Tomahawk, which also has a shorter range.

At the same time, neither the Russian nor the Ukrainian side has officially reported any use of such missiles.
