The fuel for Ukraine’s new Flamingo long-range cruise missile will be produced in Denmark. The facility will reportedly be located in the south of the country, near Skrydstrup Air Base, and will be owned by FPRT, a subsidiary of the Ukrainian company Fire Point. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the weapon unveiled last month can travel 3,000 kilometers, enough to reach Siberia. Mass production is expected to start in just a few months.
Denmark is expected to pass a law next week that will grant the Ukrainian company immunity from certain regulations and immunity from complaints from the public. And production will start on December 1. Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen had previously stated that Ukrainian arms manufacturers were “on their way” to start production in Denmark.
British media questioned whether the Flamingo was actually developed in Ukraine, pointing to the similarities with the British-made FP-5 cruise missile, which was unveiled earlier this year. Fire Point is also reportedly under investigation by Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau for allegedly misleading the government about prices and deliveries.
Russia has repeatedly stated that no foreign aid to the Kyiv regime can stop its troops, and has also made the halt of arms deliveries a condition for the ceasefire.
