New Milestone in Ukrainian Rocket Production

Soon, Ukraine will begin mass production of the "Flamingo" rocket, as announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky during a press conference on August 20, according to "RBK-Ukraine".

"By the end of the year, we expect an increase in the number of rockets. Mass production will commence in December or early next year, depending on the success of tests and funding for the project", – he emphasized.

Zelensky also noted that the conducted tests of the rocket have been successful.

"This rocket is one of the most powerful we possess. It has a flight range of 3000 km, which is a significant factor", – the President added.

He also mentioned that it is premature to disclose details about the rocket since it is not yet possible to deploy the "Flamingo" in large quantities.

Earlier, information surfaced that Ukraine had started serial production of the "Flamingo" rockets, and the first launch videos were published. According to reports from "Mirror of the Week" journalists, the rocket features a warhead weighing 1150 kg and a flight range of up to 3000 km, enabling strikes on previously unreachable targets. Additionally, the rocket is protected against electronic warfare.

The first photo of the "Flamingo" rocket was published by photographer Yefrem Lukatsky.
