Erstes Filmmaterial einer neuen ukrainischen Rakete „Flamingo“ mit einer Reichweite von bis zu 3000 km und 1000 kg Sprengstoff

Looks like a V1 rocket.

I was about to ask if this is really combat footage, but I wouldn’t put it past Ukraine to test it on a Russian target in it’s trials.

Old V1 looking happy af and in tears to his grandgrandson

The journalist who released the video claims that the missiles have already hit some targets inside russia :

> [Combat use of Flamingo missiles, which has been taking place for some time, has proven its effectiveness and was able to hit targets on Russian territory.](https://zn.ua/ukr/war/flaminho-vid-firepoint-ekskljuzivni-video-viprobuvan-ta-bojovikh-zapuskiv-krilatoji-raketi.html).

> The warhead weighing 1,150 kilograms and a flight range of more than 3,000 kilometers allows it to destroy almost any targets at a depth that was previously completely inaccessible to Ukrainian strike weapons, including long-range drones. In addition to the stated characteristics, the missile is protected from the effects of Russian electronic warfare.

The specs are eye watering, though I imagine its enormous size means that it will have a hard time penetrating air defenses. Still an incredibly potent weapon for destroying Russian factories. Alabuga is fucking doomed.

I thought it looked like a V1 and I was waiting for the pulsejet to start and make the characteristic noise but I guess it isn’t a pulsejet? What is it?

So.. 1 tonne of explosives

Fuck yes ! Those long range strike drones are cool when you consider the cost/vs capability but they just don’t carry enough of an explosive warhead to cause massive damage. This on the other hand is something I can’t wait to see striking military/logistical targets in Mordor

Now Kremlin Please 🙏

Pink Flamingo. Having Trollfest vibes right now.

These numbers are impressive. But I’d like to have some statistically relevant samples for 1) shahed production capacity per warhead and 2) crude oil throughput percentage per warhead. Thanks in advance.
