Ukraine’s Fire Point develops Flamingo cruise missile and FP-9 ballistic missile

Interview describes Fire Point’s Flamingo ground-launched cruise missile (claimed ~1,800-mile range) using multiple engine options and a new domestically developed turbojet/turbofan prototype line intended for mass production. It also outlines development of the FP-9 ballistic missile (~500-mile range) and an FP-7.x ballistic missile interceptor positioned as a cheaper, more plentiful alternative to Patriot interceptors. If fielded at scale, these programs expand Ukraine’s indigenous long-range strike and air-defense missile capacity and reduce reliance on scarce foreign munitions/engines.
