Flamingo Missile Features

• With a claimed range of 3,000 kilometres, a 1,150-kilogram warhead, and a maximum takeoff weight of 6,000 kg, the Flamingo is among the world’s largest and longest-range ground-launched cruise-missile systems.
• It has a wingspan of about six meters.
• This makes the Flamingo the first indigenously produced “heavy” missile system in Ukraine’s arsenal. 
• It employs a turbofan engine.
• It has a speed of up to 900 km/h and navigation based on an inertial system and GPS.
• The missile’s high terminal velocity, in combination with its heavy weight, means that the warhead penetrates deeper into the target before exploding, which significantly increases the destructive power.
• The missile is also designed to be resistant to electronic warfare systems, likely using a secure GPS module with CRPA antennas.
